Learning to Love Writing.Com New members are often overwhelmed with the vastness of Writing.Com and they feel lost.

Learn to click those links and check out everything. You won't get lost because your home port will always be listed in the same place on every page.

It is important that the contents of your writing is rated correctly. If it isn't, a Purple or Blue Mod will come in the night, swish a magic wand about and POOF! The rating is fixed!

Again, there are so many newbies I would love to highlight in the letter, but I always run out of room! I hope everyone takes a few minutes each time they log in to read a newbie. Next time choose one that has no ratings yet. Be the first to welcome them to Writing.Com. Remember to read your neighbor’s work too! helpful links

Submitted To: Noticing Newbies Submitted By: Nikola~Thankful Library Lady  Submitted Comment: Hi Esprit, I really like your topic in this issue! It helps me, as a writer, just as much to get a reader's impressions on my work as it does to receive feedback on the technical aspects. ~Nikola Thanks, Nikola. Me too! Submitted To: Noticing Newbies Submitted By: van_maniac Submitted Comment: I love reading the newsletters because its a quick and easy link to other writings and authors in writing.com. Plus I am a new and its a great way to add to my favorite authors. Thank you!  Submitted To: Noticing Newbies Submitted By: My Wee Amanda Submitted Item: "Invalid Item"  Submitted Comment: I thought Esprit's article about reviewing was wonderful! I wish I'd been given similar advice when I began reviewing! Continuing along the same theme, I think new writers and reviewers to the site could benefit from this forum--there are several "experts" that frequent the forum who could help answer questions or provide discussions in which the newbies might be interested (and we'd love to have them!). I agree, Wee. I'll do what I can to get them there!
