Oh... I'm not writing professionally at the moment, but as a support to everything else I make. I guess W1S1 isn't for me then
Well, keep participating like you have been, and in 50 posts you can think about posting something of yours for crit in Share Your Work (SYW).
Crits or critiques are pretty special, and have their own subforum called Share Your Work (SYW). You need 50 posts to start a new thread in SYW.
Lots of times new members think they know what it means to be critted, and that their work is ready for it, when it isn't. So having to have 50 genuine, engaged posts gives new members a chance to figure out how critting works.
Until you have 50 posts, why not go to
Share Your Work and read some crits, and
carefully read the stickies, and maybe try your own hand at doing a crit ?
The password for Share Your Work is
vista.
There's an
FAQ listing passwords.
Once you have 50 posts, you can start your own thread in Share Your Work. Until then, reading crits, and trying your own hand at critting will help you understand what it's like to be critted.
You can start reading and critting stuff by others right now—it's not only a great way to participate and give back to AW, it's a fabulous way to learn about writing.
