Topic: New Guy

Good day All, and greetings from the southern tip of Africa. I have always been a keen writer and reader and look forward to get to know some of you in sharing ideas and tips. Please feel free to check out my second real attempt at a short story in the Mystery and Thrillers group. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thank you and keep writing.

Louis

Re: New Guy

Hi, Louis, and welcome to the site!  I read your story and made comments, but you will get more reviewers if you can post this in a group that pays points, like the Premium group.  Most folks on here review for points so they can, in turn, post their own things.

Just a thought.

Happy trails to you,
MJ

Re: New Guy

Hello.
Later today I will review your short story. I agree with Marilyn. You need to post your work so readers can get points for their efforts. Like Marilyn, I have more points than I'll ever use, so I read regardless. But...most members need the points to post their work.

Welcome to the site. I hope you like it here.

Re: New Guy

Welcome to the site, Louis.  I agree with Ann and Marilyn.  I even stand on street corners, "Will work for points."  It's a bargain.  I'm charging one student $48 an hour to edit his work.

Re: New Guy

Oh, and another good idea is to post your work to groups that had big memberships, like the Premium group.  I went to look at it, and received the message, 'must join the mystery group.'  Sorry, my groups are filled up.

Re: New Guy

Welcome. This site is worth every penny to be a premium member & DO post to Premium group.

Re: New Guy

Welcome, Louis!

I got the very same advice from MJ and Ann when I posted my first piece last week and they were spot on.
You will find the players here insightful, professional, courteous and active.
I am over the moon having stumbled upon this website. The people here have made it the place to be.

Re: New Guy

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

I will definitely take your advice on board. I am extremely happy to have found this site as it is hard to find professional and honest feedback to help develop one's skills and nudge us in the right direction. Looking forward to reading some of your guys' work.

Louis
