Hello my fellow lovers of language! I am deliriously slouched in a donut shop, enjoying venturing this site. It does seem a little confusing, but that could be my lack of savvy skills when it comes to technology. I am a very positive person who is looking for honest feedback for my honest work. I believe creativity should be nurtured and sometimes needs some buffing, brightening, but never see destruction. De-construction... only if you are lucky. Friend me if you find me or my messages interesting and I will gladly share my words (whether they are of wisdom is for you to decide) where I see they may be of assistance to your works. Most everything I write is to test my own limits of my life and/or views of life in general. Many things will not fit into a box, but feel free to let me know how you feel about it. If you took the time to read this, take the time today to wave at someone new, with a smile on your face. Write about their reaction if you want, or how you reacted to doing it. I promise, it's fun. Hope the best for all.
I have two sitting next to me... two already in my tummy. Melzaar, you are more than welcome to the double chocolate glaze or the sprinkle one I have left.
Mallory, ...Herro there! You is a silly Smart Alec and I like it! I is sleepy and didn't register that your post was a literal response, well played.
Follow it with a nice tall glass of milk or some piping hot coffee for a complete breakfast, a drink qualifies meal in my mind... That's how I get away with snacking so much. Enjoy your day!
Hello Ms. Adams, Welcome to the Creative Writing Forums. Please read How to Use the Writing Workshop 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 Writing Workshop, 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 Writing Workshop, 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. We also impose a two-week waiting period before you may post writing for critique, to give you time to become familiar with what is expected and how the site operates. The Writing Workshop 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 Writing Workshop 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 the RPG forum for improvisational fiction. Also try 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!
