Hello, my name is Giggles. I have looked everywhere for a good writing site online, where I can share my work. I love reading and writing (thus I am on a writing forum) but have many other interests as well. I look forward to reading everyone's works as well as publishing my own.
Hello Giggles, Welcome to the Writing Forums. Greetings from a fellow Bay Stater, but will you cheer up, already!? 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!
