    Hi! Whatsup? How are ya?

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by EdmundCarstains, Jul 28, 2012.

    Hi, I'm not exactly sure what to say here. I just got out of school for an almost completely unrelated major to writing, which is Digital Media. I make animations and websites and games. Sometimes I write but not prose, computer languages. Mostly, I joined because I love reading short stories, books, science fiction, sherlock holmes, etc. and enjoy being among creative people. I don't write often but maybe that will change! Using my background, I hope I can contribute in a unique and awesome way here. :cool:

    Where did you go to school at. I orginally went for digital media design at T.S.T.C in Waco TX, i was 3 semesters short of my AS, then i switched my major over to psychology, then dropped out completely and went to the oil field. lol
    Which 3d animation platform did you use. 3DS Max or Maya?

    Welcome to Writing Forums, EdmundCarstains!

    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, Cogito, Lemex and Dante Dases) 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.

    Why did you switch? More money in those proverbial "hills"? I went to Drexel in Philadelphia, using mostly Maya. :)

    Thanks, Banzai. I just read over the forum rules.

    I tried to accept your friend request but my compter is stupid.
    Im not sure why i switched, i had to take psychology as a credit and when i did i loved it. i started to read in the school library all the psychology books i could get a hold of (Pathology of liars, theories of personality, neuorotransmitters, dreams, etc.) and i found myself skipping class to go and read. I loved animation and everything, but i clicked with psychology. But then it tured out that i didnt finish that either lol, so here i am in the oil field. Pm me man if you need anything
