How to be the most awkward newbie ever:
Step 1. make sure your very first critique is of a poem with eight stars or more to it's name ... make sure you have no idea what stars mean at the time.
Step 2. accidentally insult a moderator in said critique.
Step 3. post some angsty nonsense accompanied by buckets of word vomit.
Step 4. actually read the site and realize your time would have been better spent eating icecream than writing poetry, cause all the people here are really smart and actually know what they're doing.
Step 5. say hello.
Hi, nice to meet you all!
I'm new. Yes, I am this awkward in real life. I apologize in advance for any offences past/present/future. It is never intentional. I'll try to do things in the right order from now on, but track record has me skeptical of results. If I accidentally wander somewhere I don't belong just turn me around and point me in the right direction.
