.. Isn't that what we're supposed to do? Forge an intimate connection with our readers? Well, anyway, before I scare more than just myself... I'll, uh... stop? As it is: My name, at this moment, is Personal Giggle. I use this as an introverted reference to my subtle and often miscellaneous and random humour/personality. The only things I've ever been good at is writing, cleaning, feeding and entertaining myself. Although writing fits into the "entertainment" category. It is indeed the only thing in which I have some form of talent/skill. And I love it, like the candy coated nipples of something vulgar and obscene. Hmmm... Just because I'm not right, doesn't mean I'm wrong... - This is from somewhere, I'm sure... -> Uh... there was something here about me but I found it uh... extraneous? <- Bah, as things are: I seek fun in that which is functional. And if you actually look and cast away the shackles of shared and accepted knowledge, you shall see that I am not wrong - which could mean that I'm right... correct? Anyway... I'm experimenting with blogs and writing in general... I plan on enjoying myself immensely on this forum. Looking forward to getting to know you. Check out my attempts at crafting language in my blog... Oddeology.blogspot.com... YAAAAAY! -pG "I bake the cakes around here..."
Hello Giggles, Welcome to the Writing Forums. Don't make me slap those hands! I'm not a Fondle Fuzzy, so watch those boundaries. Please read How to Use the Review Room before you post there. Posting your own writing for people to comment on should not be among the very first things you do here. It is worth taking the time to see what other people have done to improve their writing, and see if some of it applies to your writing as well. That is part of why we require members to review other members' work before posting their own for review. On the other hand, there are no restrictions, other than content and copyright rules, on showcasing your work in your member blog. Also, be aware that posting a piece of writing on any public site, including this one, will greatly diminish your chances of selling it for publication. Removing the writing later does not alter that fact - once posted, it is irreversibly considered published. So do not post anything more than a small excerpt of any piece you are planning to submit for publication. 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, and be sure to read through the forum rules, too, to avoid any misunderstandings or hurt feelings. Respect for one another is our principal mandate. 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 constructive critique as a vital 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). Also, please use the same thread for all revisions and additional excerpts from the same piece of writing. See this post, Why Write Reviews Before Posting My Work? for more information. And while you're looking around, don't forget to check out our Weekly Short Story Contest and Weekly Poetry Contest. They actually run more than one week apiece, but any member may enter, and all members are urged to vote for their favorites. Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!
No worries, brother. I feel the vibe and understand completely. I'm really bad at making good first impressions... *moment* Take it easy. -pErgIg "Awkward is so much cooler than uncomfortable."
Now that I have made my introduction thread I feel I have the right to welcome others... And you are the first one! So welcome And be sure to have fun!!!
How nice of you It feels... good... to be here Has being welcomed ever made you look at the floor? Oh, I forgot to mention that I have O.C.D. in both my left and right pinkie... So that should explain my abuse of ellipses... Yeah. Hmmm... I guess just thanks would've been enough (?) -pg "We usually realise too late that we've succumbed to organised chaos..."
