Greetings guys...

[TotesMcgotes]

I'm familiar with the message board style of community, but bear with me.

I've come here to hopefully pick something up from you..my colleagues, as I'm a young writer looking to feel his way around the industry. Hope you guys don't kill me...and I'm looking forward to picking up some pointers from you.

Anybody think this is an actual newbie rather than a regular using a sock puppet for a little fun?

We call those alters around other websites...

And no, I'm not an alter. Which I realize only makes me seem like more of an alter. I know the code.

What are these "other websites" you speak of?

With a name like TotesMcgotes, it has to be good.

Do you think Chris Johnson is like Eric Dickerson, too?

I like turtles.

Here's how: Parse through the threads in Journalism Topics Only and the sub-board Writers Workshop. Plenty of good stuff there. No death involved (except for the onetime member Death, that is).
