Hello! I am a young writer, very young, and I've decided to write my troubles away. I am a fan of Orson Scott Card, Alan Moore, and sometimes Stephen King. Favorite novel is a tie between Ender's Game and The Watchmen. I'm a movie addict and a technolgoy geek. I guess you could call me unique. I think it would be awsome to be a game writer, an author, or a game journalist. I also love video games. For Aiur! ( any StarCraft fans? ) Farewell for now, - Who Watches The Watchmen?
Hello WWTW, Welcome to the Writing Forums. Hmmmm, long username, long thread title. Am I sensing a burgeoning trend here? Posting your own work should not be the very first thing you do here. It is really worthwhile 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. 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 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!
Penny Arcade is amazing. As for The Watchmen, there is nothing that can describe the pure genius that is Alan Moore.
Welcome! I'm also a young writer, so we have a bit in common. (I also LOVE video games). Hope we can talk sometime.
