I'm new here, but not to writing. It has been my favorite hobby for most of my life. I have written anything from talking animal characters when I was younger, to bear attacks to horse racing, and now to my favorite thing: vampires. I have a pretty active imagination. I am 25, and I live in Missouri. I have 2 dogs who I just love to death, a lizard & a few fish. Let's see... I enjoy writing the old-fashioned way with pen & paper. But I want to type a few books out on the computer, then print them out. I'm sure they will look MUCH better, since I have terrible penmanship. It's nice to "meet" fellow writers, and I look forward to reading around & asking questions and just generally participating in the forums. Thanks for reading this, and I'll see you around!
Welcome to Writing Forums, AJtheWriter! I hope you find what you're looking for here, whatever your interests in writing. This forum aims to provide the best workshopping resources on the internet, and to that end we have a few rules which you should familiarise yourself with before you get stuck in. The main section of the site is the Writing Workshop, where members can post their writing in order to receive critique of their work. However, before we allow members to post their work, they must have met some basic requirments. Firstly, you must have been a member for fourteen days, and have made twenty posts on the forum overall (please note, posts in Word Games do not count towards this). This is so that members, when they post their work, have familiarised themselves with the forums and contributed to them (as well as hopefully learned something for themselves). Secondly, members must provide two constructive reviews of other people's work for each piece of their own that they wish to post. This is because we believe that the focus of workshopping should be equally upon giving reviews as receiving them, as they allow a writer to practice and improve their editing skills, which they can then apply to their own writing. Beyond the Writing Workshop, you will find that we have extensive forums for discussion of aspects of writing, as well as a community area for general discussion. We also run periodic short story and poetry contests, which are good for challenging yourself and expanding your skills. If you have any questions or problems, then the moderators (myself and Cogito) should be your first port of call. Any technical problems with the site itself should be directed to Daniel, the site administrator and owner. I would recommend you have a look over the rules so that you know what to expect, and what is expected. But aside from that, I hope you enjoy your time here. Banzai
Welcome to the forum. Feel free to let you imagination run wild. I found it a good idea to read the rules.
Thanks! That is really nice of you to say. This site seems very cool too! I'm having a lot of fun so far.
