"Call Me Ishmael"
Welcome to our first 'official post!' I thought we'd start off by saying, ‘hello’ and introducing ourselves. (If you haven't already, check out the posts from earlier where I laid out the preliminary discussion threads' schedules and the concrit posting guidelines. I didn't want to clutter everyone's f-lists, so scheduled them to post early this morning.)
Tell us about yourself!
What name do you go by? Do you have a professional site you want to link to? Want to share your LJ? What genre(s) do you enjoy writing? What genre(s) do you enjoy reading? What authors influenced you the most? Anything currently in the works, or are you just brainstorming right now? What about your strengths and weaknesses as a writer? What are they? What are your interests outside of writing? Read anything good lately? Read anything bad lately? Any other info you'd like to share with us?
Very important: Are you interested in taking part in receiving concrit? Or are you here just to participate in the general writing discussions and give concrit?
If you’re ready to participate in receiving concrit, sign up. We want everyone to participate in giving, so remember you cannot post until you've given concrit. (Rule relaxed for first week of posting since we're just starting out.) If you've got questions, please PM us or use the Dial-A-Mod post instead of posting questions here.
1st choice: (Pick a day M-F)
2nd choice: (Pick a different day M-F)
I plan to finish my novel/novella/vignette by: (date)
Have fun, y'all!
(This post will also be our official “Sign-Up” post for receiving concrit and will be linked to the sidebar under ‘Author’s Desk.’)
