Yumi,

Posting your work here in the forum is not the best way to get feedback from other members of Writing.Com.

Here is a good example of how the feedback system here on Writing.Com works:

I wrote this item for a contest:

 There is no Prince Charming . . . Open in new Window. (ASR)
What If... (Watching romantic movies - Relationship problems - Unrealistic expectations)
#1851527 by ruwth Author IconMail Icon


Here is one of the reviews I received for it:

Review of "There is no Prince Charming . . ." Open in New Window

I really appreciated the feedback this member gave me. If I pay attention to it and apply her suggestions, I can improve my future writing.

It isn't against the rules to post your paragraphs here but it is not making the best use of this site. On the other forum, Nosferette Author Icon replied:

"You need to turn these paragraphs into a static item in your portfolio and then link that on "The Shameless "Plug" PageOpen in new Window. . That's where you'll get reviews."


This is similar to what I had told you in an email. The page I suggested you use (after you put these paragraphs into a static item) was "Please ReviewOpen in new Window.. Reading, writing and reviewing are the cornerstones of the Writing.Com community.

The items you create in your port do not need to be finished works. You can put your paragraphs in a static item and get feedback and then use that feedback to edit those items and improve them. This is the BEST WAY for you to get the kind of feedback that will help you improve as a writer and to become an active member of this community.

Write me and let me know when you have put these paragraphs into a static item in your port and I will be one of the first to give you a review!

I am not a fiction writer and so my feedback will not likely be the best that you will get but I will give you some concrete feedback IF you choose to put these paragraphs in a Static Item in your port.

Then you could also send a link for your story to R.C. Author Icon as well. I bet he would also write a review for you. *Smile* You could also plug it on the page Giselle suggested and on the one I suggested. You could even come back here and post a link to it as well.

I really hope you will do that!

Write On!
