Hello diziet, Welcome to the Writing Forums. If you haven't explored the site yet, you should probably do so soon. Newcomers often gravitate to the Lounge, the Word Games, or the Review Room, but there is much more to be discovered if you poke in the corners. As for the Review Room, new joiners often wonder why we do things a bit differently on this site than on other writing sites. We emphasize reviewing as a critical writing skill. Training your eye by reviewing other people's work helps you improve your own writing even before you present it for others to see. Therefore, we ask members to review other people's writing before posting work of their own. The Review Room on this site, therefore, is a true workshop, not just a bulletin board for displaying your work. See this post, Why Write Reviews Before Posting My Work? for more information. Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!
Welcome! I hope you like it here. I know you can't always be a natural born writer, but someone who becomes a writer rather than just is a writer is worth much more. So keep it up.
thanks for the kind welcomes. i've already reviewed one piece. theres some interesting stuff on here.
hello and welcome to the forum. I do hope that you have a most wonderful and pleasant stay here with all of us. We have weekly poetry and short story contests. They are located in the weekly writing group forum. I f you have any questions in regards to them just send me a pm as I am the one running them at the moment with a bit of help with the short story one that is. Anyways I look forward to seeing you participate in all areas of the forum. Torana
