Hi RAE! That’s so cool! My nickname at home is Rae too!!!😆 Thanks for reaching out!
Sci fi is sweet! I have several WIPs which are fantasy, children’s Christian fiction and I’m trying a thriller 🤞🤣
Oh cool! My initials spell Rae.
A thriller, huh, never thought about that.
Hey, do you know how to introduce yourself round here?
Ahem. Clueless 🤦♀️
Oh hello! Just saw this convo and wanted to hop in for a sec. So if you want to introduce yourself, press the Community tab. Then press “Start Here” and then “Create a New Topic.” I think that makes sense… I think… 😂 Anyway, welcome to the Kingdom! I’ll be sure to give a more thorough introduction of myself once you create your intro post. 😁
@vinagirl @esther-c is right. Press directly on “Community” at the top of the page (if you have a tablet, it may be three white lines, which you press and select “Community”) then look for the words ” General site info” and under that should be the words “Start HERE”; press on that. Then, if you can’t find “start new topic” (don’t worry, it took me a little bit to find it when I joined) at the top of the page, scroll down until you get to a white box. Once there, type in your greeting in the little white rectangle above the box marked “topic title”. Drop down to the white box and type your intro post. Once done, press the ” submit” button by the bottom of the box on screen.
Let me know if you understand this.
Thanks so much RAE! I think i did it 🤣🤞
Thank you so much! That was very hel 😆
Very he *
