    Ah, writers.

    Hello.

    I enjoy talking shop with people, since I know so few writers personally. There's also no act more humbling than to pass your work into the hands of astute critics who are also capable of recommending a good paper shredder.

    Glad to be here.

    Welcome to the forums, MFAer. I hope you find your time here enjoyable and of value.
    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)
