I just joined the community, and I wanted to say hello. I'm an aspiring writer in the Los Angeles area, and I'm trying to learn the art of the short story.

I found this site on a webpage that listed the top ten best resources for writers on the web. When I read the description, I thought giving feedback to other writers sounded like a good way to improve, so I thought I'd give it a try.

I have a master's degree in linguistics, so I'm pretty good with grammar and mechanics, but I've never taken a creative writing course. Therefore, I'm somewhat fumbling around trying to figure out the lay of the land.

Anyway, I look forward to reading some of your stories and reading the observations you have on mine.

Best regards

Welcome! There are tons of classes here about short story mechanics. Try Richard Thomas's class. 

I've found the wokshop to be very helpful too. Looking forward to reading some of your work.

'How do you do' I said, saying how you do.

Could say it all day, till my face is blue.

Hello, how do you do?

 

Hope you have a great time here!

I just joined as well. I have been browsing for quite some time and decided to get involved maybe make some friends? Chuck's writings are insanely helpful. 

How do I do? Very well now thank you:)
