Hi guys, im new here but it seems like a great community! I'm not sure if my writing will be high enough standard but i'll give it a shot :lol: I'll post some of my early work in the forums and let me know what you think.

Thanks :)

Having said that, where exactly do i post my writing?

Welcome!

As for you writing not being of a high enough standard--hey, we're all here to improve, and help each other as best we can.

If you look at the toolbar on the top of the page you should see a button with two pieces of paper that says "Literary". From there you can look at the different genres, pick which one you think your piece best fits in, then go to "New topic" near the top of the page.

Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions, as I'm glad to help!

Hey there Jak!

Welcome to the site. I'm Myth. You've already commented on my work so thanks a bunch!

As for writing - no one is perfect, there will always be a place where writers need help and opinions from others so you're not alone. :wink:

If you need anything critiqued let me know.
