Noticing Newbies

Hi,
I joined earlier this month, and here are some things I find.
Contests, there are many, and unless you have a paid membership, you are going to use up your portfolio space of 10 items, so choose careful. I myself am using 9 for contests, and 1 I have placed all my writings, so as to free the other 9 up at the end of the contests, and not lose what I have written.

A link to writing tools, is the ? above your writings . It contains many more tools, such as HIGHLIGHTING and more.

I think you will find being reviewed will happen the first few days after joining, and be much more sporadic after that.
Don't judge your work by what others say, or by standards you are still learning, WRITE WHAT YOU LIKE, AND HOW YOU FEEL IT, it doesn't matter that others don't get it, like it, or what ever.

Once you have filled your portfolio, and you still have the juices flowing, I suggest NOTEBOOK (WARNING THIS WILL POST IN NEWSFEED TO THE PUBILIC!!!). Go to your portfolio, click the notebook button, at the top of the page. it gives you 2500 characters per post, and comment at the bottom of your writing, will allow you to add to it, (others can as well, but the X on the top right will remove it.) Writing a new note at the top will start a new string (leaving the other there as well).
To tell you the truth, I don't know if within an amount of time the old notes are not cycled to the trash or not, but by that time you should be able to copy and paste it into your 1 portfolio spot for all your works.

Read my stuff, don't read my stuff, what ever

this does not contain my notebook item yet, nor does it hold my ASR GC rated contest item.

Explore, attempt, enjoy yourself, life is too short to judge yourself too critically.
