Removal instructions  Noticing Newbies Newsletter is geared to help new members get acquainted with Writing.com -- there is so much do and all the features can be overwhelming! Our goal is to help new members make their time here more fun and manageable. Each week we will showcase new authors items (poetry, short story, polls, etc.). Exposure for each member's writing will help bring more rates and reviews for their work, and by bringing more member interaction to the member, that will give them the opportunity to build friendships with other members, as long as they reciprocate reviews and conversation -- remember, it is a two way street. "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." -- Author Unknown  Passionate about writing?

PRODUCT REVIEWS Not only does Writing.com offer its members product reviews, the product reviews are given by Writing.com members! A product review is a thorough critique of a product, such as books, DVDs, music, software, videos and video games. The review is given by the person who has listened, read or watched the product and therefore is able to tell other people about the product. By reading a product review you can decide whether or not you want to buy the product. You can find out the rate of the overall quality or usefulness of the product or how the product compares to other products. You can meet authors at W.C. by reading product reviews, and if you like what they have reviewed, you have something similar to talk about...good way to meet people. To find product reviews, go to the top left side of the screen, click on "Item Jumps" and scroll down to "Product Reviews". A great feature of product reviews is you can review a product yourself! Reviewing products is good practice for your writing and also a good opportunity to get some reading in. To be a talented writer, it is essential to read alot, so start reviewing! To critique your own products, the "Product Review" folder is located in your port under the large portfolio icon and the start date of your account, between "Table of Contents" and "My Blog".

Searching Spirit You're very welcome Ronda. *smile* PastVoices Laurencia, Another newsletter on something I still haven't tried in two years. What a dear!! Thanks for the update on Maine weather, I wish the stork hadn't gotten tired and left me here in the midwest where the weather is pretty much dull. Thank you Nanette! I wouldn't mind some dull weather once in a while...the rain & snow get hard to take sometimes. Reason The time and effort that is put into this newsletter is greatly appreciated. It has made it so much easier to find my way around and to get noticed.I am impressed with the support that abounds at Writers.com. You have greatly honored and flattered me by posting one of my pieces (the first one I posted at my port). The feeling of seeing your work chosen and posted in the "Editors Picks" is one of the most encouraging things that someone could do to support another. I hope to be able to do half as much here as you do. Thanks Laurencia!! Reason You are so sweet. It is my pleasure to help in any way I can. It makes my effort worthwhile when I hear thanks like what you have expressed.
