Highlighting Newbie BioBlocks


I thought the Tidbit yesnomaybe Author IconMail Iconhad a wonderful idea in highlighting BioBlocks. I liked it so much I am borrowing it! Bio Blocks are important, they inform your reader, they make a quick sketch of who we are.

These BioBlocks impressed me and I wanted to share them. I do want to stress though that I came across many many BioBlocks that were empty. Take the time to write a few sentences that give your readers some hints about your work or the focus of your work. Remember that you can always change your BioBlock as the mood suits you, as long as it is kept G-rated.

Here are some Newbie bioblocks I found interesting and/or entertaining. Please give them a read and consider posting your own "welcome mat."

Letter from the editor

Hi,
Since this is a new Newsletter, and I am a New Editor, I decided I should touch on a subject that even today remains foremost on my mind. Being New!

Some of us are familiar with a few of the tools that are available here, some of us are not. I am one of the lucky ones in that I knew nothing, so there wasn't anything for me to "unlearn." And everything to gain from learning!

Below are some of the wonderful static items I have frequently visited, reading and studying them until I felt comfortable trying new things. One method I used was to create a private folder and practice what I read until I felt comfortable with each new tool or type of item.

I encourage you to visit these how-to items, seek out others items, ask questions, and practice. It's such a great feeling to know that this is a place you can find someone or someplace to answer each question.

It's been a long time since I read a poem that evoked such feeling in that I felt the plea of this author in each and every line.

This poem caught my attention because I use wings in my signature. We could all use wings to reach the unreachable and this poem is a wonderful reminder.

Ask & Answer

A New Newsletter sometimes takes time to generate some questions. So... instead of leaving this completely blank, I thought I might include some of the wonderful sites that have been created to showcase Newbie work.

Has created a black case review for those wanting
critique/help/encouragement.

I encourage you to read the rules carefully prior to posting because some review forums in Writing.Com review your work IN THE FORUM and not through email.

Till next time.... Write On!
