    Hi all, I'm a newbie here on the Cloud but it looks great! I've just finished a draft of my first proper manuscript (as opposed to all the random scribbling I've been doing since primary school!) and it's good to know I'm not alone...

    Hi everyone, I'm new to The Cloud and can't wait to get started. Once I've figured it all out I'm looking forward to reading everyone's work and hopefully reading some feedback on my own. I'm currently editing (rip apart, start again, repeat) my first novel, banging my head on a desk yelling 'show don't tell' over and over again!

    Hi everyone. I've just joined the community and am excited by how much it has to offer and by everyone's helpful advice and criticism. Looking forward to learning more and adding my thoughts

    Hi everyone, new to the cloud, just wish I'd found it ages ago, but ho-hum. I'm currently on the 2nd draft of my MS, after starting it nearly 2 years ago. I really look forward to banging some ideas around, and helping where I can (not that I'm an expert). Would love to get feedback on my own work too, as I progress along the journey of sleepless nights and countless re-writes. :)

    Hello! I am grappling with a first novel attempt. I have about 8000 words or so. If there is anyone who would be willing to do this, I'd like to exchange my work with someone, so that we could read eachother's work in it's entirety and critique. Let me know.

    I just finished the second major revision of my novel which I began in ... gulp ... 2000. Is there any place here where I can post an extract or two and get feedback?

    Hi - just joined...have written one book for children, was fortunate to be taken on by an agent in Feb, manuscript with several publishers. Feedback so far is 'lacks commercial sparkle', though the story itself is good. Currently working on the first of five stories which may be the one to break into the publishing world. Apparently.
    Happy to be here!

    Well, probably like other people finding this site, I'm here to learn. I've been writing for sometime now, but have just been brought down to earth with a walloping great bump. I've been told that my punctuation is good and the story is good, but I need to start it all over and not do too much 'telling'. If anybody has any further advice on writing for the first time, I would be only too grateful to hear what you have to say.

    Hi everyone, I'm Legendia and have just recently joined this site and now this group. I mostly write fanfictions or anime-styled stories though I can write other genres, I hope I can improve by posting my stories here and having people critique it.

    Thank you.
