Another Newbie

Hi Folks! I'm brand new to this whole creative writing thing - the last I did any was in my final year of high school... 33 years ago!

On a whim, I signed up for an introductory writing class online and discovered that this is fun. Another classmate told me about this site, so here I am. (Thanks Just Jim!)

Hey No Brakes,

Welcome to the site. That was quick.
Check around and make a note of people whose comments you like. Then when you're ready to post, ask them to review it.

It's working for me.

Jim

Welcome and good luck!

What really is encouraging to me is that just when I was at the brink of giving up on writing, I found a mentor / tutor / instructor who has helped me so much that I can never repay him. His name is Rob Parnell. If you will visit the following website below, you will see wonderful ebooks and tools to help you hone your writing skills. Yes, I also get a commission for those who make purchases, but I am convinced that I am doing you a favor after seeing what it has done for me. I hope you will visit so that you will see what I mean. His ebooks are DIRT CHEAP. But the wisdom and instruction that they contain is worth more than gold.

Welcome and greetings from a fellow newbie who has been estranged from the pen and page for far too long. Happy writing! :O)
