Noticing Newbies

Hello back at you!

I am rather new too . . . involved for about 1 1/2 months.

I haven't posted any poems yet or found any poetry contests to join, but I have a few that would be good to get feedback on. Your comments make me think they should go in my portfolio. When I get them loaded there, I'll try to remember to let you know and get your input.

In the coming days, I'll look at your portfolio and try to send you a review on your poems that are already there.

This community seems huge, and I'm just beginning to grasp the tip of the iceberg. A few have recommended going through "Writing.Com 101" which I bypassed at first, but I've make it a goal to get through the introduction/tutorial this holiday weekend.

I'm a retired teacher, and I'm writing from Colorado. And you? For more details, I'll refer you to my bio on my page.

The first items I joined in on have been the "Daily Flash Fiction Challenge" (with 2 winning submissions so far!) and just recently the "Short Shots" monthly contest. What items have you submitted/posted so far?

If you'd like to get started with reviewing, I'll give you the links here to my two better flash fiction items and the short story for this month's contest. I look forward to any constructive criticism or kudos you could give.
** Another Task for Millie-DFFC "🏆 Another Task for Millie" 
** Canvas of Memories-DFFCh "🏆 Canvas of Memories - - 1st Place" 
Her Father's Lessons - Short Shots 5-18 "Her Father's Lessons" 

Thanks! Hope you'll reply with a little more about yourself!

Hope you enjoy this writing community which is so new to both of us!

Ruth
