Is there room in here for one more?

I am Galadriel. I have been writing poetry since I was 5years old, prose and short stories since my teens, and am now struggling with my first novel. Your site looks really exciting and I am looking forward to reading some of the poetry here, and sharing some of my own.

Hello Galadriel and WELCOME TO MM! Newbie.gif PartyFavor.gif Balloons.gif

Of COURSE there's room for one more! arwen.gif I love that character and the entire LOTR series, so you're penname is already a favorite of mine! galadriel.gif (notice this emoticon)?

We offer honest, yet friendly feedback in our workshopping forums so I do hope you'll find yourself at home here, once you settle into your own groove-thing and start interacting (we don't bite). odie.gif There are many members here with different skill levels and technique, which makes MM more comfortable, diverse and challenging if you become so inclined in your poetic journey. sings.gif cheer.gif

There's plenty to delve into, so please, wander our halls, take in our colorful 'tiles' and join in the fun (officially now that you're a member). hsdance.gif Idea.gif If you would be so kind, one of the first things we ask is to share a bit of your goals with us. What type of poetry do you enjoy writing most and are there certain forms you often write in? Shall I assume the level of critique you would like to receive on your topics is 'light' to start (until we both learn what is desired)?

Each forum has its own 'forum participation rules' posted in a link at the top of the forums, so please have a read of them: http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=8574 .

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or any of our staff (AMETHYST, Arnfinn, Eisa, JLY, ohsteve, Psyche and Imhotep). rose.gif margarita.gif mm.gif mm.gif

Thank you for the warm welcome - I believe I am among friends. Yes, please, go lightly on the critique until I find my way around. I think it is good to have constructive feed back, it is how we learn. The fora I have participated in before have been mainly 'Discussion Boards' which, like the curate's egg, are good in parts. While they do have poetry sections, they are not well frequented. I have the honour to be a Moderator in one of them, and have introduced challenges to generate some interest and, at the moment that seems to be working. I do not have a particular style - I just follow my where my pen takes me ! I have always written poetry but fell into short story writing by doing a course at University, and am quite enjoying exploring that aspect of writing - plus - don't laugh - I am currently writing a novel which my friendly proof-reader has described as a "psychological romantic who-done-it" !
