N0TICING NEWBIES NEWSLETTER
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."

Hello New Members!
Are you ready to write your family history? Well, if you have never really given much thought to researching your family heritage, no better time than the present. Not only can you learn about where your family came from, but you can also come up with a fantastic non-fiction or fictional story from the research you acquire. Every family has stories, some sad, some funny; some with interesting historial backgrounds, such as indian heritage, a distant relative who was a slave, or family who may have come from England or Spain...so many possibilities. And how wonderful to be able to share stories with your family, your children, and their children.
Genealogy is time consuming, many hours of research and analyzing papers, census records, marriage and death certificates, and even tax records. It can be boring and incredibly tedious. Yet, the easiest way to begin researching a family is recording the stories directly from your living relatives. Often this task is overlooked and can reveal so much about a family history. There are also online sites where you can retrieve much of the needed resources to begin your family tree. See the following links:

http://www.familytreeforum.com/wiki/index.php/Welcome
http://www.genealogy.com/index_a.html
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/
http://geneasearch.com/
I hope you decide to find out about your family history, who knows what kind of story you could come up with...have fun!
Until next time...

Good newsletter Laurencia. Alliteration is a useful tool for the poet and one I employ often in my poetry. Thanks for sharing your teaching talents. The "O" word is one of the devices that I struggle using in my poetry, I have a hard time using it effectively.

Thank you Larry, it is also a pleasure to hear from you, I appreciate your encouragement.
This was very helpful, especially the use of alliteration to replace rhyming. I can see this technique effectively pulling it all together without sounding cliche' as many of the rhyming poems do. Thank you for this very valuable piece!
