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, lyrics, 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 helps bring more member interaction, which will give you the opportunity to build new friendships. Remember, it is a two-way street...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."

Hey New Members!
It's great to have you be a part of Writing.com. The opportunities here are endless for a writer, which include your own portfolio to store your writing, image/clipart capability, e-mail, contests, interaction with other writers, reviews & rates by your peers, that is just to name a few.
Reviewing members' work is a big part of Writing.com. Reviewing is the process of tactfully critiquing one's work with honesty and integrity; to share your wisdom and point-of-view of the whole, not the minute.
Active reviewing improves our ability to learn from experience. Most reviewing is simple, basic and direct. Used wisely it can enliven and sharpen the process of reviewing, and enrich others as well.
Reviewing provides:
Analyzing experience
Communicating experience
Making sense of experience
Learning from experience
Reflecting on experience
For more information on reviewing see the following:

"Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books is a quite exceptionally thankless, irritating and exhausting job. It not only involves praising trash but constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feeling whatever."
~ George Orwell
"Reviewers are forever telling authors they can't understand them. The author might often reply: Is that my fault?"
~ J.C. and A.W. Hare, Guesses at Truth
I hope the above review information is helpful. Writing.com is a second home for many writers. It is a place to proudly display and share your work. As a reviewer, please remember that not only should the author who receives your review benefit from your words...you should too.
Enjoy!
Until next time...
