Hihi folks...

Just thought I'd post a hello. I am looking for a new forum to call home now that corporate whoring has rendered my former haunt a pay-to-post debacle. I won't name it, though I feel like engaging in some defamation :p *must be good, damnit*

Anyway... so I am new to this forum, hoping to find great people and a good environment, somewhere nice to share thoughts and work.

A tiny bit of background... I'm 23, writing is a hobby at this stage in my life, although in the distant future I hope to retire and write full-time, with cats and stuff. I'm make a great crotchety hermit, truly. Meanwhile I'm training as an actor after an abortive law career. Urgh, lawyers. Vile.

So, definitely an amateur in the writing stakes, although have been fortunate enough to have a novel and various poems published, nothing major, but fun. Poetry is my main passion in terms of writing, I tend to lack the patience for longer, prosier pieces! Recently I've been trying to figure out how to write good dialogue... hoping to maybe work on a script or screenplay if the ideas come.

Thanks, hope to have a good time here!

Bruce

Hiya, Bruce, and welcome to the Cooler!

Don't mind jsc--he may be a bit of a dork, but he's one of OUR dorks...:D
As soon all you newbies figure out which direction you're pointed, you're posting all over the place--and that's how we like it! :)

Hi there!

I hope the place-we-are-agreeing-not-to-name ends up with totally empty forums. Really.

Welcome and I hope you like it here!

Thanks folks :)

The forum seems lovely, although the critique bit seems quiet for poor old poets like me... but everyone seems pleasant and mature and from reading the posts, it appears there isn't the rampant sh*t-stirring and superiority complex syndrome that I've seen in other places I've tried!

And yes... we will not name it, but we will know its name!

Yup, we're all mature here.... Just don't mosey-on over to the Absolute Awful poem contest or crit-eek threads on the poetry board. ;)

Ahh, but being irreverent and silly is good! In my world, mature can still involve silly, and should!

I think I'm still in "Worst Poetry" mode... ack :p

:welcome:

Please Bruce, defame away. Between this and some of the replies I smell some juicy gossip. Er, I meant to say a good story. And of course writers thrive on good stories.

There is a very nice and welcoming poetry forum here, so I think you're in the "write" place. But I still want to know the name of this infamous old place...

but everyone seems pleasant and mature and from reading the posts, it appears there isn't the rampant sh*t-stirring and superiority complex syndrome that I've seen in other places I've tried!
Ah well, the weekend is young. And then alternate Tuesdays– well best not to speak about that.

But we're all so glad you're here! Cheers! :Cheers:
