Christie,

Welcome to JPF. Feel free to jump in and add your thoughts on any post, we welcome interaction and it's always fun to hear from new folks since so many of us know each other and what most people think on a given topic.

When it comes to posting your lyrics, or in the Creative Writing board where you can post your poems and other writing, it's always helpful to first offer some feedback to others first, in part to introduce yourself and also to demonstrate you're willing to give and take. Sometimes new folks are anxious to get feedback and post a bunch of lyrics and find they get little or no responses and that is often the cause. Once you've dipped your toes in, choose one lyric and post it for feedback at a time, giving people a chance to react to that one first, rather than posting 3-4 in a row all at once. It's been my experience that taking this approach will quickly lead to success and help you make a lot of new friends, potential co-writers and networking contacts!

Brian
