N0TICING NEWBIES NEWSLETTER Noticing Newbies Newsletter is geared to help members get acquainted with Writing.com. There are many things to do and learn. Our goal is to help you make your time here more fun and manageable. Each week we select and showcase new items (poetry, lyrics, short stories, essays, campfires, polls, etc.). Exposure for an item (your writing) helps to bring you more rates and reviews by fellow members and the general public...of course depending on how much exposure you want your item to have. Some writers like to keep their work private. When your work does receive exposure, it helps bring more member interaction, which will give you the opportunity to build new friendships. Remember, it is a two-way street...try to make an effort to reciprocate reviews. "There's someone that you haven't already met, go introduce yourself to him or her. Walls and labels can't keep you from the people who are so similar to you in spirit. There's a friendly face behind every door if you pick the right moment to knock. Once you start your wave of creative outreach, it turns into a contagious force. People are waking up and smiling at each other, sharing their dreams without hesitation. This community is worth something." -- Author Unknown ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDITOR'S NOTE:   What's Love Got To Do With It? Hello New Members! Love is in the air! So you ask, but what's love got to do with it...with writing that is. You have to ask?? The love of writing is very powerful...using words to save a friendship, entertain the mind, preserve memories, and heal the heart. We write to write our own love story. We would be lost if we couldn't express ourselves with words. One of our most ancient methods for healing and personal growth is found in the art of story-telling. From the earliest days, our ancestors sat around campfires telling stories from their lives and their dreams. Stories that were powerful were memorized and retold until they were reborn as myths. Regardless how the story is presented, whether it is non-fiction or fiction, the story always begins with at least one person sharing from their heart and imagination. The literary power of a story is found in the depth and extent of shared meaning it has for the rest of us. The ability to express what you think and feel is what makes poets and sages. We all have more wisdom within us than we could ever imagine. There is a story in each of us, and we may find it at whatever point we feel challenged by life. On this Valentine's Day, take a plunge and write a love letter...write to your lover, a friend, or yourself. What exactly should the letter say? What style should it be? Sometimes you will not know until your hearts says so...just write. Let yourself slip into the words as they hit the pages...you may be pleasantly surprised what you have to say. The maker of a sentence launches out into the infinite and builds a road into Chaos and old Night, and is followed by those who hear him with something of wild, creative delight. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson A little education about Valentine's Day: http://www.victorianamagazine.com/valentinesday/valentinewriter.htm Great read: http://www.helium.com/debates/132608-valentines-day-does-the-expense-of-the-gift... Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity. ~Henry Van Dyke Until next time...  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  NEWBIE SHOW ITEMS SUBMITTED FOR NEWSLETTER:
