Hi! Just spent the last hour trying to figure the site out - I'm so-o-o-o-o new.
I have fooled around with writing all my life, it seems like, and would like to do something with it that pays... I mostly write philosophically; articles about life; what's happening; experiences; thoughtful stuff; ya know? Anyway, I am here to learn and contribute (if I can). Feeling a little shy - baby steps, baby steps

Hi, Di! Welcome!

There's so much information here. Being a lazy sort of person, I usually hit the button for "New Posts" and scroll down the list looking for things that interest me.

Good luck with your writing.

I'm new to this new stuff too. Working hard to get some of the paint knocked off. So, at least I will not look so new.

AndreF · Sep 14, 2011

Welcome. Yeah this is a big site almost like a cyber city full of writers...expect there's no muggers.

Good luck with your carrier and I hope you enjoy your stay here.

Fabor · Sep 14, 2011

I haven't read any of the philosophical stuff on here yet. I'll have to look for it.

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the 'forum jump' you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. After you post 50 posts you can use the SYW areas to get help there. The password for some of the areas is…..vista. A word to the wise, it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Hi Newbie - know what you mean. I've just spotted three little icons bottom right of postings and suddenly get what they are there for! Yay!
