N0TICING NEWBIES NEWSLETTER
Noticing Newbies Newsletter is geared to help members get acquainted with Writing.com. There are many things to do and learn. Our goal is to help you make your time here more fun and manageable.
Each week we select and showcase new items (poetry, short stories, essays, campfires, polls, etc.). Exposure for an item (your writing) helps to bring you more rates and reviews by fellow members and the general public...of course depending on how much exposure you want your item to have. Some writers like to keep their work private. When your work does receive exposure, it also helps bring more member interaction, which will give you the opportunity to build new friendships. Remember, it is a two-way street, so try to make an effort to reciprocate reviews.
"There's someone that you haven't already met, go introduce yourself to him or her. Walls and labels can't keep you from the people who are so similar to you in spirit. There's a friendly face behind every door if you pick the right moment to knock. Once you start your wave of creative outreach, it turns into a contagious force. People are waking up and smiling at each other, sharing their dreams without hesitation. This community is worth something."

Hello Newbies!
People love to be inspired and educated by a few words that will carry them through a day or help to make a difference in their life. Quotations have many purposes. By reading them, they can change your outlook on a situation. They can inspire you to take action. You can use a quote to inspire and motivate others when giving a speech. Quotes are great to use in birthday cards, letters, a personal website, blog or journal. Whatever you are writing, those special words can assist in adding more depth to what you want to say.
William Feather once said,
"The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages is preserved into perpetuity by a nation's proverbs, fables, folk sayings and quotations."
The quotes listed here are many of my favorite, enjoy!

Thank you very much!
Hi Laurencia,
I've been writing short stories for a while, and have just begun to write my first novel. One of the more interesting things I've noticed so far is that I have the luxury of more space to develop my characters. Do you have any tips for not overdoing it? I want to make sure I provide lots of character detail over the course of the novel while keeping the story moving.
Thanks!

Hi Jay! I'm happy to hear you have returned to writing, it's one of the best things you can do for yourself. You have answered your own question! Like you said, as long as you keep the story moving for your reader, you will do fine. Just get the story written, then you can worry about rewriting and editing the story/characters to your liking. So many people get writer's block, because they worry the story will not come out right, so they don't write at all. Write the story.
When you develop your character(s), write details you would notice in a person. What details that catch your attention, what details please you or annoy you...the "imperfections", the "behaviours" that will place an image in a reader's mind, along with the scene you want to take place.
A tip you have heard many times...read. Read before going to bed. When I need perspective on how I want my story to go, I will read one of my favorite authors...not to copy them, but to help assist me in getting the right mindset. I hope that make sense.
Thank you all for writing in!
See ya April 4th!
Laurencia
