This month's question: What advice could you give a new member?
Send in your answer below!  Editors love feedback!
Last month I wrote about trying new genres. Here are the replies to last month's question: How successful are your attempts with new genres?
Dawn Embers  replied: In answer to the question, it depends on the genre. I've tried a few times to write horror and just struggle with it every time. There is something about the genre that I just can't figure out. However, I tried erotica on the whim of "can I actually do it" and that was like 4 years ago. Now I run the Weekly Quickie and some know me for my m/m stories. I never thought I'd be able to write such when I joined. So, you never know unless you try.
Jeff  answered: My attempts at other genres have all been successful in the sense that I learned something from the experience and am proud of the fact that I tried something new. In terms of quality, though... let's just say there are a few genres with which I'm not particularly proficient.   |

Do you get in a rut and enter the same contests or activities every month? I'd like to encourage you to branch out and explore some contests and activities held by new members. Often these are the contests that need participation because the new member isn't aware as to how to promote their item. Often these new activities or contests aren't listed in the promotion forums like "
So please, take a moment and help our community by reviewing or mentoring a new member. Write and Participate on!
