What a pleasant surprise to stumble upon this forum a few nights ago. You seem to have many interesting topics, and self help improvements in writing. I knew right away, that I wanted to join in as a member. I started my first writings at age 7, in the form of poetry, but now that Im a seasoned adult, I have taken up the game of role play, in long term story lines. Im the site owner of "Step Back In Time" Victorian 1880's role play forum. I look forward to joining in, on all the wonderful things this forum has to offer, and meeting new friends, with the same interest as myself.

Hello Quills, Welcome to the Writing Forums. I'm glad we presented a good first impression, and hope that we live up to your expectations. 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!
