at finding a nice place to share, critique and talk about writing, and whatnot. First place - erk - it was just...cold. So, I'm hoping this place is much better, and from what I've seen so far, I have high hopes. Um, about me. I'm married, live in New Zealand, have two kitties, millions of books, and have had poetry published here and there. I've started writing again this year after a long break. I also write short stories. I hope to be reasonably active, but other things take up my time, Anywho, looking forward to meeting everyone.
Hello Karnean, 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 on this site, therefore, is a true workshop, not just a bulletin board for displaying your work. See this post, Why Write Reviews Before Posting My Work? for more information. Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!
Hello - I hope all is to your liking. If you have any questions for us then don't hesitate to ask. I'd like to think we are a warm but honest bunch on the whole, I'm sure you'll be made welcome. Be sure to enter into our contests - many do Contests and Competitions - Writing Forums See you around the site.
Welcome to the forums I hope you find us more welcoming than wherever you've tried before and I look forward to seeing more of you around - stay! Lol
I would just like to welcome you to the insanities of WF.org. A place where you can unleash both the writer and the inner child inside that is waiting patiently to escape. lol I do hope that you have a most wonderful time here with all of us. There are a lot of things for you to get involved in and a heck of a lot of wonderful and helpful information on all aspects of writing lurking around the different forums within this board. So sit down and get comfy with a nice hot or cold drink and probably a few snacks as well and enjoy reading everything that we have all got to say and do feel free to join in wherever you feel that you can. Ok so now that I have rambled away to you I will let you go and enjoy your time here with all of us. See you around the boards. Torana (Oh and we are warm and fuzzy and completely insane here by the way and offer nice cofy cushions or recliners around a really big fireplace with nice hot or cold drinks, and your favourite snacks...as long as they aren't cookies cause cookies get stolen around here!)
You are wierd Torana. Hello By the way! Hope you find this place a little warmer! I look forward to seeing your poems and such ~Doz
Dear Writer, Welcome to one of the fastest growing writers forums on the web. I’m sure if you hang around long enough you’ll begin to make new friends and enjoy becoming a participating member of the writersforum.org. I am sure each new member will bring something new and valuable to the forum as well as find it an interesting and wonderful place to explore and learn more about the wonderful world of writing. I have been away for awhile myself, and unfortunately have not been able to keep up with greeting the large influx of new members personally. Please forgive, but except my sincerest and belated welcome to the forum. Cordially yours, Trailer Trash
