I can't remember. I would love to hear from you out there how it was for you in the beginning? Did you join in right away or go to posts and check them out? Did you feel comfortable in the beginning?

Well my profile says I joined 7 years ago but I haven't spent a lot of time here so I don't really remember. I take long breaks but when I come back I really love it here so I'm sure I enjoyed it to start with.

@Raj7779 I love that we do not have to make $10 as the minimum. I love it being $5. It is easier to make Ritik.

I had been on a different site that was similar - but it had closed. And I really missed writing these type of post/reading other's posts. Happily I remained friends with @teamfreak16 - so I asked him if he knew of anything similar to the other site we were on and he pointed me here. I looked at it once maybe but didn't have time that day and the item of "check out teamfreak's writing site" stayed on my "to do list" for a long time. Months. Then I looked at it again and thought - why not? Jumped right in. Love it.

I had been part of another site that went belly up, so I was used to blogging. I know I checked out the terms of use and faq's before I did anything, and then I wrote my first post, jumping right in, basically picking up where I left off from the other site.

When I first joined a writing site before I feel nervous because I don't know how to deal with people, are they going to mock me or insult me because I know I am not a good writer. Then that writing site was gone. When a friend introduces me here in myLot, of course, I am still nervous that time but not that hesitant to expose my thoughts. I am still thanking for that one friend.
