Hi Melissa,
Welcome from Alicante, Spain. As for newbie tips: I'd say read others' stories. The currently monthly challenge stories are a good place to begin. Leave positive comments and (respectful) suggestions for making the story in question better (if you have any). Offer to trade reviews and comments with other authors. Build a network. Oh, and of course, post your own stories on the site. Even if you just complete the monthly challenge tasks you will have 12 new stories by the end of the year!
Thank you so much! I have already entered this month's contest and one story. Please feel free to read them and comment if you'd like. I would welcome your feedback as well. Have a wonderful day.
Melissa

Thank you for the review on my entry - I just now noticed it. That is a true story. My Mom did just die. That is her picture. She was a beautiful lady and always will be to me. I have felt such grief. The monster chapter is just a small portion of what I feel inside. I have experienced tremendous loss in my lifetime but nothing like losing her. It is indescribable but I have tried. I love her so much.
I appreciate your kindness.
Melissa
