    Hello from Loo

    Hello all-
    I'm Loo, and I'm new to the forum. I've been writing since I was a child, and have been teaching high school English for a number of years. I figured it's about time I try and write something of my own if I expect my students to listen to me. Hope to get some good critiques and read some other people's work as well!

    Hey, Loo. Welcome to the community.
    How To Get Critiques On Your Work: WF is very much a give and take community, meaning the best way to get constructive critiques and comments on your work is to give them to others.

    Hi Loo, and welcome to WF. Hope there's plenty for you to learn from on the site. Happy writing.
    The sand of the desert is sodden red, -
    Red with the wreck of a square that broke; -
    The Gatling's jammed and the colonel dead,
    And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.
    The river of death has brimmed his banks,
    And England's far, and Honour a name,
    But the voice of schoolboy rallies the ranks,
    "Play up! play up! and play the game!"

    Vitai Lampada (Sir Henry Newbolt, 1897)

    Hi Loo. Welcome to WF.

    Thanks for the greetings everybody. As for where I will be, I think you will mostly find me trolling in the fiction forums. I write short stories and hope to attempt a novel, and am looking forward to seeing what other members are doing.
