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!

WELCOME TO MM Rayn!
   I hope Dennis is well and I'm glad he referred you to MM.  There's plenty to read and comment on here as you get acclimated to our 'tiles'. I've been writing for 4 years now (maily poetry) and like you, am grateful for online writing forums. It gave me my start!  It certainly sounds like you have the background experience with critiquing and being critiqued. Critique should be fun and should help the writer (not harm) and I hope you'll find that it is fun, friendly and helpful here.Where are you from (and would you mind if I posted your state/country in your profile)? Is your first name "Rayn" -what a unique name!  As we always say here, if you are seeking honest feedback, then you'll find it here. Always remember though, your works are your own and our suggestions are yours to take or toss.  If you have any questions, please ask. Cheers ~Cleo

Collaboration feeds innovation. In the spirit of workshopping, please revisit those threads you've critiqued to see if the author has incorporated your ideas, or requests further feedback from you. In addition, reciprocate with those who've responded to you in kind.
