    Mulgan, here.

    Discussion in 'New Member Introductions' started by Mulgan, Sep 20, 2009.

    Y' 'ello everyone!

    Where to start? Ah yes...I'm new here. That's about it. Oh and also I'm a twenty-something, inedukated knuckle-head who can occasionally stretch his attention span for half an hour of silly writing.
    I hope to entertain everyone, apart from a few who I hope aren’t too offended.
    Lots of love, kisses and e-cuddles

    Wow Von Pook. You seem like the kinda cool cat who's gonna take me under his wing and show me the ropes, maybe tell me how to score some weed etc.
    Do you know how long it would take me to grow hair like yours, starting pretty much from scratch?

    lol, um maybe 2 years, its a lot longer now, that pics from about 2 years ago.

    You can't score much weed here, although I think Cogitos got a secret stash he's keepin' from us, but I can train you up to the ways of the Darkside.

    So come young Padawan let me show you the ways of the Force. :cool:

    'ullo Mulgan, Welcome to the Writing Forums.

    Posting your own work 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!
