Hi, everybody. I'm Sage. Or Mumbles, if you prefer. I mean, I'm not acutally NAMED Mumbles or Sage or even MumblingSage, I have a perfectly good name in real life, but like I want to be known by that on a writing forum, right? I'm at moment a dabbler who's made a few short story submissions, acutally landed a place in the odd ezine, and whose proudest moment recently was receiving a perfect score in the English section of her ACT. I'm young. Please don't hold it against me; I promise I'll try to grow older. :redface: And I'm very pleased to meet you all!
Congrats on the perfect score. That is a great accomplishment, and deserves commending. Welcome to the forums. If you have any questions, feel free to ask myself.
Hey! Welcome, ::laughing:: I won't hold it against you, that your younger! If you won't hold it against me, that I'm older! Quills
HOW DARE YOU! I demand that you regress in age immidiately! *cough cough* Heh...right. Thanks for the warm welcome, everybody. I like the look of the place. It's so big and busy and writer-y!
Hello Sage, Welcome to the Writing Forums. It's not the age in years that matters, just the age you act. 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!
