Hey there from Canada, and just a short intro. Won't make this lengthy, just to say ran across this wee site on the Yahoo! Answers, as someone stated they posted their articles and have them critiqued. I thought this an excellent idea. I am a debt collector (credit cards) by day (hated by customers/loved by management), and writer of my own blog by night. I write on the humorous side of life; short pieces mostly - so hope people will enjoy them here on this site. My blog: SNOOZ U LOOZ Writing for me is a hobby for now. D.
Hello debbie, 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!
Welcome to WF.org I hope that you have a most wonderful and pleasant time here with all of us. Torana
