... so please be gentle!

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site so I'm sending my first hello!

This is the first writing forum that I've ever registered for, so I may make a couple of noob mistakes (hopefully not too many!)

I stumbled upon this site after following a link to a very interesting thread on the merits of free-verse poetry vs. rhymed. As I try to find my way back there, I'd like to say thank you for having me and I look forward to reading as many posts as I can.

Behind you!
We're always gentle! Well, most of us. Most of the time. Except when life's making too many demands, or it's hot, or the checking account's running low with plenty of month left.

Never mind, we're just ornery!

Maryn, pleased to meet you

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Greetings and welcome to the watercooler :welcome:

Take a wander around the various forums, there's lots to see and lots to learn, and even some fun threads too. Come along and pop on over to the Newbie Pub (at the top of the Newbie forum) and say hi, there's plenty of friendly faces that you can chat with and lots of banter. There's also the Question of the Day threads at the top of the Newbie forum where you can answer random questions.

Don't forget to read the newbie guide, and if you want to know what all the buttons mean check out this thread.
