Noticing Newbies Newsletter is geared to help members get acquainted with Writing.com. There are many things to do and learn. Our goal is to help you make your time here more fun and manageable.
Each week we select and showcase new items (poetry, lyrics, short stories, essays, campfires, polls, etc.). Exposure for an item (your writing) helps to bring you more rates and reviews by fellow members and the general public...of course depending on how much exposure you want your item to have. Some writers like to keep their work private. When your work does receive exposure, it helps bring more member interaction, which will give you the opportunity to build new friendships. Remember, it is a two-way street...try to make an effort to reciprocate reviews.
"There's someone that you haven't already met, go introduce yourself to him or her. Walls and labels can't keep you from the people who are so similar to you in spirit. There's a friendly face behind every door if you pick the right moment to knock. Once you start your wave of creative outreach, it turns into a contagious force. People are waking up and smiling at each other, sharing their dreams without hesitation. This community is worth something."

If you are a creator of words, you are an author
Hello New Members!
I'm sure that many of you do not consider yourself an author, especially if you have not been published. And although becoming published is an important stepping-stone to being an author, it does not define you as a writer, or author.
As the quote above says, "If you are a creator of words, you are an author," and I feel that a person should not put labels on their writing; it is the creativity that is important.
I am always surfing the web for the latest information on writing; I love the convenience of doing research right at my fingertips. There is an endless amount of reliable information on all subjects for writers; occasionally you will run across reference material that may be questionable, but not often, just use your judgment. I'm always on the lookout for new writing tips and author interviews...I came across the following links, take a look:
