Nice to meet you all, New to the site Options

[Guest_Rayn_*]

Hello everyone! Tyger suggested I join you all over here, and I'm very glad he did! It looks like a great site, and I look forward to learning from you and your work. I'm a grad student, so I won't be around as often as I'd like, but I really enjoy creative writing, and I know I have a lot of room for development there, so please be patient with me. If I don't respond right away, it's not because I don't want to!

I've been writing poetry and fiction for the last 15 years, but it's only within the last five years that I've begun really working at it, and only within the last year or so that I've begun to seek out critiques and learn how to develop myself as a writer. I'm so grateful for online writing forums; I'd still be locked in an 8th grade writing style otherwise! I will always appreciate any advice you have to offer. I write mostly free verse poetry, but some friends at another writing site got me started on more structured styles and that has been a great experience. I've never been bold enough to post any of my fiction. Perhaps I'll screw up my courage and try that here.

Well, I'm off to go enjoy your work then. See you around!

Helly Rayn,

Welcome to Mosaic Musings! Glad to have you aboard. Your personal journey in writing really is quite close to my own. Almost identical and that helps me to find excitement in welcoming you as a member. I had been writing poetry and even prose for the longest time, but as a 9th grade drop out (and perhaps I didn't remember too much of what I learned before that) My style, as some expressed, had great potential but I needed to grow in my knowledge of grammar, poetic devices and other things to improve on it... And I too, thank God for online poetry sites where I have met and learned from GREAT and admirable poets and writers. Many have been professional teachers and accomplished poets. That is something, in my small existance of the world I would never have had the opportunity otherwise.

So pull up a lounge chair, a cup of coffee, tea or a beer and enjoy some wonderful participation at MM. We are all on our own journey and it is a great asset to have someone to share it with. As well as I bet we will be learning from you too!

If you have any questions or need direction getting around, please feel free to send a Pm to any of our staff ... Including me! :)

Best Regards, Liz
