Re: Hello Everyone new to the website
Hello Brian Thomas Author Icon! Welcome to WDC!

I think we all wonder whether we have what it takes to be a good writer *Wink* What I love about this community is that everyone is helpful and supportive. I've learned a lot about writing and reviewing in my 3.5 months here! I'm sure you'll learn a lot too.

This place can be pretty confusing and overwhelming. A couple really great newbie forums are "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. and "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window. were you can talk with newbies, ask questions, and really learn more about what WDC has to offer. Definitely check them out *Smile*

I, personally, do not review poetry, but I know a bunch of people here do, so I'm sure you'll get plenty of feedback on your work. Reading works by other writers and even reviewing them is a good way to increase your own knowledge and your exposure. Plus, writing reviews really challenges you to improve your writing. I find I'm more likely to look up comma rules or grammar issues when looking critically at someone's work than if I'm doing my own...but, of course, that benefits me in the long run as I learn something and can then use it correctly in my own writing.

Glad you found us!
