out beyond the ideas of wrong-doing and right-doin
Okay fellow Newbies, and experienced AW's, I have succeeded in posting the recommended 50 comments, opening the door to expose my own work for critique and commentary....and the terror has set in. Advice on taming the tremors and steeling the nerves to post would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Step 1- Eat a Kit-Kat.
Step 2- Post up a paragraph or two in the correct section.
Step 3- Eat another Kit-Kat.
Step 4- Go write some more.

Repeat.

Works for me.

Sounds like good advice. Also remember that while critques can sting, they are not meant to be mean spirited but rather make your work the best it can be.

Now everyone hold on while I port this over to FAQ's

Good luck! I look forward to reading your work.

Remember that we're all where you are. Just keeping writing and critiquing and submitting, and all will be well!

Well, you know, there's a sacred propitiatory rite wherein you send the Admin [cough] a dozen kit-kats and a bottle of merlot . . .

Really? I had to send a Kit-Kat and a dozen bottles of merlot! I demand a recount!

Well, you said you wanted the Elite Luxury Package Ben.

There's a price for that, not to mention the delivery service . . . those uniforms weren't cheap.

Although its fast approaching noon here on the east coast, my daughter kept me up part of the night so that could be why I missed how one transmogrifies from 50 posts to being able to post in "share your work." I tried to post my first chapter and was denied.

Could someone dumb it down for someone who only went through 8 years of college for his many degrees.

"Six years of college down the drain..." Bluto, Animal house.

Thanks!

BTW, Tis the season for cadbury creme eggs. Not kit kats.

You've been "promoted," so to speak, so I suspect you need to log off AW and then log in again.

Remember that SYW will requires the SYW password, listed on the top page of the forum, in the SYW description as well as here.

I'm terribly sorry, the previous requirement of eight years of college has been upgraded, like the number of missions in Catch-22.

Maryn, who didn't really have anything to add, obviously

Be sure not to watch your thread too closely when you post. you'll drive yourself mad. set an alert and try to stay away for a little while.

Well you didn't think I meant women/men who take off their cloths so men/women can stuff dollar bills in their g-strings did you?
This is a family entertainment forum, right? Right?

OK, you caught me, I meant what you thought.
Slaps head, must remember to proof first before hitting send...

Jumping in on the cadbury mini egg bandwagon. Speckled sugar coated chocolate. It's like an M&M with a thicker shell (and better chocolate). The cream eggs are too ooey gooey sweet for me. :D

That being said, did you guys figure out how to post in SYW?
