   I'm in the middle of acquiring an English major and Writing minor, and I love to write fiction and poetry. I've posted my poetry in the past on the forums at emule, but wanted to find somewhere else to get critiques on some past poems (and new ones), as well as prose. I also look forward to reading others' work!

Great to have you on board. Welcome! If you'd like any help finding your way round please just ask (Press the PM button of a member of staff). I hope that you find MM helps you to develop your writing - it certainly has been - and is - invaluable to me. I don't know emule, sorry but I hope MM libes up to your expectations.

On our former board, locataion was a required field but here on IPB, it isn't. I'm going to see if I can make it so... Do you mind if I add that to your profile? Cheers! ~Cleo

Hello Ben !
Happy to welcome you to this site. You will find wonderful, fun, and talented people here. I look forward to seeing samples of your poetry and prose as you begin to post regularly. Am curious.....do you aspire more to becoming a writer....or are you looking to teach, also ? Became interested when I read about your chosen major/minor. Hope you enjoy it here and that we can be helpful to you ! Marcia

Greetings, Ben... and welcome aboard!
You won't find these tired, old, dyslexic eyes much over in the prose neighborhood, so you might not see much of me; I leave that to the prose... er, the pros... but if you venture over into the other side of the site, you may see my skipping through or stumbling in from time to time... so I look forward to reading you, as you have the opportunity to critique and be critiqued. deLighting in the prospect, Daniel

Coming from emule, you can't be all bad.
WELCOME. I avoid the prose zone because it takes a great deal of time to be sincerely helpful; I have eight chapters and equal to read before my face to face writer's club meeting this coming Thursday; and last but not least, my editing stinks. However, I am induced to plow over that-a-way to see how proper prose is proposed. Don |

Hi Ben, Fran...
>F> There's probably more money in teaching There's more money (than in writing) in selling one's parts for organ transplants - but also not recommended. (And just as dangerous). J. |

Greetings Ben and welcome to MM
I too like both poetry and prose but still consider myself a beginner in both. I've only been here a short while but I can tell you that if you are looking for sincere critiques this is the place. You will find out most reviewers are generous in sharing their expertise yet do so in a very kind and gentle manner. There is plenty to do here and I'm sure you'll enjoy discovering the many aspects of MM. I have also been posting old work and the good people here have still managed to help me improve my writing greatly. If you are looking for inspiration that is fun, check out the challenges. They are quite delightful and can lead to bigger things if you wish. I look forward to reading your work and getting to know you.
