Everyone is Welcome to PWoF (Pigpen Write of Fall)!:
It's for everybody, no matter what skill level you think you are.
(People who think they're not that good are usually better than they think.
People who think they're good are always worse than they think.)
And you can join in anytime you want - late, early, on and off - all's cool.
PWoF is dedicated to fun, stretching your imagination, and learning. PWoF is NOT a contest.
More experienced writers are encouraged to relax, to feel free to experiment and possibly
screw up. (People who write excellent poems, by the way, run the risk of making the gods
jealous and having their liver pecked out by large birds. -- Not officially sanctioned by PWoF).
Comments are highly cherished, treasured, appreciated, and loved. They are a big
part of the fun. It's requested that they should be light and encouraging (if you feel
the urge to make a detailed crit., do it by PM). There's an exception for obvious typos,
miss-spellings, and grammar (except for grammar Nazis -- you know who you are).
It is not off-topic to discuss or ask questions about anything to do with yours/others
writing process and the difficulties and joys encountered. (Learning from each other seems
to be as good a reason to do this as any other.)
