It's nice to know I am not the only nervous one on here. I am extremely socially awkward and I have a hard time writing about myself so please bear with me. I love to write and I have been writing since I was 13...I am 23 now so that's ten years. Whoo for basic math! Anyway I have written some fanfiction as well as some original stuff but I have never had the confidence to post anything. Hopefully that will change now as I am determined to post something on here that I have written! No matter how scared I am. I love to read and I like reviewing for other people. I am never mean when I read someones work because regardless of how it is they worked really hard on it and that should be appreciated. I love cats. I feel that needs to be said. Well there you go can't wait to get in on all the action on here!
Welcome to the group Nameless Wildflower! It's always a little nerve wracking joining a forum, I felt a bit like a party crasher. I love cats too but I haven't had one in years. My parents bought me two kittens for my fifth birthday - Tigger and Frisky and they had babies, and babies, and babies. Guess which one was the male - Frisky - lol!
Welcome to Writing Forums, Nameless Wildflower! I hope you find what you're looking for here, whatever your interests in writing. This forum aims to provide the best workshopping resources on the internet, and to that end we have a few rules which you should familiarise yourself with before you get stuck in. The main section of the site is the Writing Workshop, where members can post their writing in order to receive critique of their work. However, before we allow members to post their work, they must have met some basic requirements. Firstly, you must have been a member for fourteen days, and have made twenty posts on the forum overall (please note, posts in Word Games do not count towards this). This is so that members, when they post their work, have familiarised themselves with the forums and contributed to them (as well as hopefully learned something for themselves). Secondly, members must provide two constructive reviews of other people's work for each piece of their own that they wish to post. This is because we believe that the focus of workshopping should be equally upon giving reviews as receiving them, as they allow a writer to practice and improve their editing skills, which they can then apply to their own writing. Beyond the Writing Workshop, you will find that we have extensive forums for discussion of aspects of writing, as well as a community area for general discussion. We also run periodic short story and poetry contests, which are good for challenging yourself and expanding your skills. If you have any questions or problems, then the moderators (myself, Cogito, Lemex and Dante Dases) should be your first port of call. Any technical problems with the site itself should be directed to Daniel, the site administrator and owner. I would recommend you have a look over the rules so that you know what to expect, and what is expected. But aside from that, I hope you enjoy your time here. Banzai
