Noticing Newbies Newsletter #1 - 8/16/04

N0TICING NEWBIES NEWSLETTER

Noticing Newbies Newsletter is geared to help new members get acquainted with Writing.com -- there is so much do and all the features can be overwhelming! Our goal is to help new members make their time here more fun and manageable. Each week we will showcase new authors items (poetry, short story, polls, etc.). Exposure for each member's writing will help bring more rates and reviews for their work, and by bringing more member interaction to the member, that will give them the opportunity to build friendships with other members, as long as they reciprocate reviews and conversation -- remember, it is a two way street.


"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."

EDITIORS NOTE:

Hello Newbies!

This is my first edition of the Noticing Newbies Newsletter and I'm real excited to be a part of an already talented group of editors, Puditat , Cubby's back! and esprit -- they all do a fantastic job with their monthly editions.

I have been a member on Writing.Com for almost three years now. I enjoy welcoming new members to the site on a daily basis. I currently host "Newbie Writing"  and the forum gets busier with new member traffic all the time. Stop by and introduce yourself! There is lots of reading on different subjects and many people to talk to.

It is funny when I think back to when I was new here on Writing.Com. -- I was reserved and shy, and NEVER in my wildest dreams did I think I would become a moderator and editor of two newsletters! Thanks to Writing.com I have grown tremendously as a writer and person. There are so many wonderful people here, who have helped me along the way, who answered my questions or comments -- they also taught me to think out of the box and expand my capabilities as a writer and member here on Writing.com. Now it's a pleasure for me to return all that support to all you new members.

I look forward to many more editions of Noticing Newbies! If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to e-mail me Laurencia , or send your comments to the newsletter itself.
