All Right Who Swiped Our Posters?.......n/t
Help! Don't know what to do first....
Sorry, I am probably posting on the wrong board with this question! I've just joined ivillage because I'm interested in writing, but have no experience at all. I'm finding the various boards, lessons, book clubs etc very confusing and having trouble finding my way around! PLEASE can someone tell me what I should do first, as a total beginner. Thank you!
Finally found my nerve
I have come to this board many times to read all the really great work that I have found posted here. I finally have dredged up the nerve to post a piece of my own. I will appreciate any constructive criticism. OK here goes....
The Fruits Of Summer
Okay, doing this more for therapy than anything, not really a writer, SAM
I look at the prescription and the word PROZAC jumps out at me forces my head to hang in shame. Nothing has helped me escape this feeling that I am unable to name at any given moment, sadness, loneliness, guilt…pain.
The whole scene comes back to me again and again, the mistakes and the consequences. I knew something was about to happen, the signs were there and I let them slip by.
Hello,,back after two year hiatus....
Hi, I used to come to the writing boards so much a few years back. It was an excellent way for me to continue writing while NOT taking an actual class. I don't know why I slipped away, but I did. Now I'm back, and I'm NOT leaving!! Thanks,,Debbie
hi all-newbie-just discovered the board-gonna do some reading-check back ;-)

Thank You
Thank you all for the responses on my first excercise! I really appreciate all of the advice as well. I look forward to revising my story, using the advice I was given. I do have a question, though. Jaylyn, you said to "fictionalize" my story by adding lines in it. Even though this is a true story, is it ok to do this? I hate to sound ignorant, but I'm learning the ropes as I go. Thank you all again!!!

Finally working up the courage to post.....
This is the start of a little story that rattles around in my head from time to time... I never take the time to write it down. This excercise seemed like the perfect prompt. All comments are welcome.
