hello everyone!
I just signed on and just wanted to make a quick introduction to the board.
I'm from Rhode Island been writing for, well forever but never had the gumption to put anything out for publication but I guess I'm getting bolder in my old age :) 37 is not so old is it?
I look forward to conversating with you all and of course submitting and reading.
Thanks everyone for your welcomes LOL I am looking to post something today to be critiqued of course to search out any of your writings as well.
I've hit a bit of a wall lately. Self doubt is a %^&*()!
Welcome RhodeIslandGirl, hope you enjoy your stay.
RhodeGirl -
I find that a generous few units of Famous Grouse - supped, of course, from my virtual abc mug - cures all traces of self doubt immediately 8)
A big welcome from the management! Enjoy your stay!
Thanks for the welcome Tony Cook
I'm Angell1 from BBC Getwriting. I just wanted you to know that I was true to my word and gave the board another chance. I'm a lot braver than what you probably saw on GW. I was just so shocked at the venom on that first post LOL but I know that there are usually just a few bad apples that ruin it for everyone else so here I am
Well done. Just ignore the nasty posts. It is nice here I think. It will take a bit of time to get to know people. Come and dance on the lawn and have tea with, I think it is Fergal.
Glad to have you here Rhode... just get used to sifting through the rubbish to get to the good stuff and enjoy your time here. The majorit are a nice and interesting bunch, and there are some brilliant writers here too. Enjoy!
Is that you megan ?
Did you know that Rhode Island is the smallest state in the US?
Welcome to abc rhodeislandgirl... can we call you Rhoda for short?
Welcome, I am also a refugee from BBC Get Writing. I am looking forward to seeing you and your work around!

yes I did know that lil Rhody as its called here is the smallest state in the U.S. :)
hello my names megan welcome
bob why did u think she was me?
welcome. you sound rational and intelligent so please stick around as the balance needs a little tipping these days.
(and please don't make me look a proper div by now suddenly proclaiming to be a disciple of satan or on a mission from Mars or summat... or worse still, a troll!)
good to have new folks on board, I look forward to your thoughts.
*sigh*
Hello Rhode Island Girl - lovely to have new people here. The site really is about exactly what you describe, a chance for people who write to have an audience for their work rather than writing something that sits in a desk drawer or on a computer file and never gets read.
The more you put into abc, the more you will get out of it. There are loads of new writers here who would be very pleased to get an email from you with some feedback and would do the same in return.
What sort of things do you write?
Welcome Rhode Island Girl...37 is not too old, I'm 36 and have only just started living!
I've been using the site for just about a year now, and if you stick around during the odd times you'll get the benefit of the great times, which are really very worthwhile.
Bear with us, and I look forward to reading some of your work.

Welcome RhodeIslandGirl,
