#introduce
hello!
I'm Kath McGill & I'm new here-
I write children's books, mysteries, and science fiction, many works in progress. Still figuring this out.
Thank you!
@KathMcGill Welcome! There are quite a few authors here on CoSo. I write mysteries.
@ShaneArtBooks
Thank you for the welcome
Sweet!
Mysteries are awesome
@KathMcGill
Hello and welcome! The user’s guide can be found under the help button. It will answer most of your questions with navigating the platform. Thanks for introducing yourself. Please make yourself comfortable! 💜
@CherNohio
Thank you.
It may take me a bit to work all of this out.
@KathMcGill Take all the time you need. There's no rush and planty of folk who'll gladly help you along the way. @CherNohio
@stueytheround @CherNohio
Thank you.
Now that I found the app getting in here will be easier.
@KathMcGill Welcome!
Thank you!
@KathMcGill I love swallow tails...
@sentientdessert
I do too!
Apparently you can tell the type of swallowtail by the wing position and the stripes.
We have the black swallowtail too, though not as many as the yellow ones.
@KathMcGill Welcome!
Thank you!
Be sure to read through the User Guide found here:
https://help.counter.social/en/latest/
It's available in PDF form as well, so you can download it and refer to it often; it will answer many questions you will have over time.
Learn how to do a hashtag search - those can be your friend and save you time while connecting you with like-minded people.
And always remember rule#1:
"Don't be a JERK".
Good luck!
@XaoslordErie
Thank you.
Still working my way around.
Take your time and enjoy the ride. Remember that you can curate your own experience here, unlike elsewhere, where you're at everyone else's mercy.
@XaoslordErie
I just figured out how to upload my header & avatar!
I feel so accomplished!
Ah, good! The User Guide does talk about how to do that stuff, but it's always better when we figure it out for ourselves. Well done!
@XaoslordErie
I read stuff but it doesn't always stick until I do it a billion times.
I hear you. I'm often the same way.
@KathMcGill
hello! I am an artist, working in glass, trying to restart graphic novel progress all on paper...nice to meet you!
@glassicmermaid
Wow! That's lovely!
Thank you for the welcome
@anatman
Thank you!
It took a few days to get back here and get the app downloaded.
Beautiful
Welcome! I have been here a week so far and everyone has been kind and helpful.
A writer. That is awesome. Maybe you will share something with us.
@TwistedWhim
Yes!
I have a blog.
And coming soon a website.
I just have to figure out how to link stuff to the profile now.
@KathMcGill @TwistedWhim we have a growing community of #CosoWriters which varies from publish works to passionate amateurs.
Words can be so powerful, and I admire anyone with the ability to put these words together to tell a story, a truth, or simply make a person think beyond the box they usually pull from.
@TwistedWhim @Mauve_matelot
My siblings and I tell the great nieces & nephews that we were raised before tv was around. Our toys were rocks and sticks and we were happy to have them.
Of course- they didn't believe us until my niece& nephew recounted collecting different clay stones, wild berries & flowers teaching them how to create "cave paintings" on the front driveway pad.
Oh was mum upset...
The stain lasted for months...
