  Hi, newb here!  Ren at 19:11 on 28 June 2010
 

I'm already on Litopia, another great forum and I'm hoping to become a full member there as well but I was drawn by curiosity here also and discovered to my delight the Intensive Critique group that I have summarily joined and I look forward to rolling my sleeves up and critiquing and receiving critique. I've uploaded a SS I've been working on so please do go and have a read of it and let me know what you think. I am not afraid of tough responses, I welcome them, you don't know where you're going wrong without them.

(Bit about me ;p) I'm 33 and have been writing for many years, sometimes seriously, mostly on the side in amongst the manic rush of daily life (mum of three argh). I graduated last year from Staffs uni with a first in Writing and I hope to go on for a Masters and PhD as I'd really love to teach at uni level. I have also re-caught the serious writing bug so I'm pulling out all the stops and getting stuck into some hardcore writing. I've a few WIP, the main being a novel (parts of which I'll pop up on the group sooner or later) and some SS for comps (one of which is up now ;p ).

Looking forward to getting to know folks here

Hi Ren,
Very big welcome from me - good to see you getting stuck right in in IC, great crits and... Well, I've just read Psalms and am composing a response.
Loved the bit about you on your profile, too. Think this could be fun.

Hello Ren.
So nice to see you here and welcome to the IC group!
See you around there

Thanks for all the lovely welcomes thus far and the offer of help with navigation, this site is surely a maze and I took some time just mucking about as a free member before getting stuck in and joining up properly. There's so much info on here I must ration myself - I could easily spend hours reading posts and get nothing done whatsoever!

@Gaius: Indeed I seem to have made a far better fist of explaining myself in my profile than in my newcomer post! That's the difference between kids home and kids at school ;p Hey I'm having fun already - I've missed being involved in critiquing, it's one of the many aspects of uni that I positively relished!

God, you can say that again. Even 12 months in I was still finding unexplored corners. These days I just lay down chocolate buttons to help me find my way back.

Oh, sorry, Naomi.

I thought they were a perk of membership and have been eating them as I find them. Hope you didn't get too lost, for what it's worth, they were delicious.

Hi Ren,

I'm another newbie but you look to be much further down the writing road than I am. Welcome, and I hope you have fun in here.

Welcome, Ren! We 'spoken' on Litopia. Writewords is brilliant - hope you find it so too!

Lol, Gaius, no wonder I'm still getting lost! (although I should warn you, the funny tasting ones aren't chocolate )
