Hi Everybody, I live in the UK, the dreary part (Is there any other you ask???) looking for conversation and general merriment. I have had a few poems published (but it's vanity publishing, so I suppose it doesn't really count) and I have wrote an article for a magazine and that is about as far as I have got. I am hoping to learn as much as I can and any tips anyone is willing to share on writing or keeping your momentum (something that I struggle with as my attention span is a little useless) would be much appreciated. x
Hey, Elizabeth! Welcome to WF! If you need anything, or if you just want to talk, just pm me! [T A S H]
Hello Elizabeth, 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. Remember to check out our FAQ as well! 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 forums on this site, therefore, are true workshops, not just a bulletin board for displaying your work (and on that note, please only post each item for review in one Review Room forum). See this post, Why Write Reviews Before Posting My Work? for more information. Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!
