Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
...so I thought I might come and introduce myself! (waves) Hello, everyone! I've actually been lurking on MSFV and Write On for a while, but lurking becomes quite unsatisfying after a while. :-)
Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
Hi Amanda! I like non-lurkdom. It's a very pleasant realm...
Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
*squeals* NEW PERSON! Yay!!!!!!!!! *bounces excitedly*
Hi, I'm Constance. I actually read your Intro post first, but I wanted to comment more thoroughly on it(uh, sorta. ) and I have to run eat dinner soon. So. HI. I'm so happy you've decided to unlurk! I can't wait to talk to you more, especially if you're a fantasy fan.
(I'm only this bouncy sometimes. I'm just really excited we have new people. I don't bite, claw, or cast nasty spells, I promise––Amanda MIGHT vouch for me, depending on her mood. Though I throw things sometimes...but mostly not at new people, so you're safe for a while. )
Do you have a blog or Twitter, Rachel?

Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
Hi Rachel!! First off, awesome name. My best friend (who also happens to be my sister) is named Rachel. Love it!
Second, WELCOME TO WRITE ON!!! So glad you're not just lurking anymore. It feels kind of dumb to say "I'm Maggie" since my name says Maggie. But HI! Nice to meet you. XD

Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
Hi Constance! *bounces excitedly too* I love finding all these fellow fantasy fans (ooh, alliteration...) teen writer people! It's exciting! I do have a blog at rachelatarms.livejournal.com -- not necessarily an interesting one, but still.
Hi Maggie! *waves* Nice to meet you too! De-lurking is way more fun than lurking. I can't wait to get to know everyone! Yay!
(I promise that I don't always use exclamation points so liberally. It's just...you're all so exciting! )

Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
@Rachel- Hehehe. I know! That's exactly how I felt when I first joined. I was so amazed, because I had only been surrounded by non-reading, non-writing HEATHENS (Okay, okay, not heathens. But CLOSE ENOUGH.) for so long that all these awesome people were practically magical.
Oh, neat! I skimmed some of the posts...I'll definitely have to go back and read them later! Say what you want, but I think they look fascinating.
@Twin- OH. I knew I knew a Rachel somewhere, but I couldn't remember where. Now we're even for you forgetting Honey earlier. xD

@Rachel *clicks blog link* I'm all for non-interesting blogs! They're my favorite. XD *has one*
@Twin Hahaha. We ARE even! XD *feels better*

Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
Yay!!! New people! We love new people here I love this blog too, the people here are amazing, but that could be because writers are just amazing in general Welcome!!!
@Maggie My sister's name is Rachel too! I feel like I've mentioned that before though... Oh well, it's still an awesome name

Hi Rachel! On behalf of all guys (and there aren't many) welcome to Write On! I'm Matt!!
Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
Hello, Rachel! I'm Renée, Amanda's neglectful, editor twin. XP I lurked here before joining, too, and I'm so glad I decided to un-lurk! Everyone here is pretty awesome. Welcome to WriteOn!
Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
Hi Renée! Are you both editors, then? If so, may I hire you both? (Just kidding. Unless you want to.) I love the community here, so I can definitely sense the Awesome Factor (capitalized for importance, of course).
Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
@Rachel—Lol, kind of, I guess. I've been writing seriously since I was 12, and Renée's learned how to help me edit. I write, look over what I've written to pick out the errors I see, and then Renée goes in and adds comments(usually lots of them) about what I'm doing wrong/how to fix. This process really helps me to nix my passive/telling problems before they happen/while writing, so it's helped me to spot them in other writing, too. And as for hiring, lol…would you consider a swap? I'm wanting to query in January and definitely looking for all the outside opinions I can find. ^_^
Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
Oh, that's awesome--I've only been writing seriously (that is, with the intended goal of actually being published someday) for about a year and a half. Before that, all my writing was, "Gee, this is fun!" Good for personal entertainment, but not so great in the marketability department. I should train my brother to help me edit...
If you're interested in a swap, that would be awesome--though I can't guarantee that anything I send you would be any better/more interesting/fun than the excerpt in the other forum, haha.

Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
That's totally fine! I like to be of help, lol. Just shoot me an email @ amkurka at yahoo.com (spread out just in case, to avoid spam ), and once I'm done polishing(hopefully by Christmas), we can trade whenever you're ready.
Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
Hello Rachel Nice to see new people on Write On (even though I haven't been around for ages lol) new people keep the blog more alive(not that it isn't already, just more ) and varied(people from different places around the world ) hope you like Write On
@Matt I can say hello for myself I think but yeah you're right we really are not that many guys lol

Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
@Amanda--will do!
@Stephen--Thanks--I do, very much! I love Write On, and even already it has helped me improve my writing. The only problem is that...the forums are...so...fun...and...I...should...be...editing...
@Maggie--what can I say? I need a lot of help. Stuff like the passive voice/being verbs that popped up in my first page are basically invisible to me--I just don't notice them in my own writing--so I usually need a nudge from other people in order to see them.

Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
@Rachel Ahh, totally. Me too!! That's one of the big reasons I love the internet-- it's introduced me to some of the most amazing critters/feedbackers/honest people/awesome writers EVER!
Re: Newbie to the WriteOn Forums here...
@Maggie Oh, definitely! I've never met other writers in person, let alone teen ones, so...yeah. I feel another warm, fuzzy rant about the loveliness of Write On bubbling up, so I'll just stop now and leave it at that.
