Thread: Introduce Yourself

Oh yeah btw, check out my new post it's in short stories.
It's about two people, involves gore, love and happiness.

RUSH IS THE BEST BAND OF ALL TIME... SO IS BLACK SABBATH

Writing is my favorite hobby, and I'm happy to have found a website where I can come to grow as a writer. My main interest is in essays, and I've been writing on-and-off for a few years now.

hey there. i'm isabel; i'm 18 years old; i'm from manila, philippines. i've just heard about this site. i never knew it existed and i'm so glad that it does. i'm taking up 'food technology' in college but i've always wanted to be a writer. my former high school teacher told me, though, that if i really wanted to be one, i wouldn't take up creative writing or similar courses in college. i should take up something completely different; like criminology, etc. because then, it'd give me an edge over the other writers and possibly, with a different educational background and possibly a different career background too, i can present new and original ideas in my writing.

Now that's one smart teacher!

Welcome to the community, Isabel.

it's been a while, but i hope to get back into writing. it was such a wonderful release...

hello, just tooling around on a sunday afternoon and ended up here. how nice.

Welcome, guys

Can anyone explain why we suddenly need two separate places to Introdooce Yourself?

Did you read the first post in this thread?

Maybe i am blindsighted because I work at a pawnbrokers, and we don't have three balls (have i alluded to that on here, because i don't think i have)

Or maybe I am just nowhere near as clever as I like to think. Little help? haha.

You did write a story about working for a usurious money-lender. In my book, that's someone like Cash Converters, who are pawnbrokers.



Cheers.

Subsequent therapy helped me sort out the more annoying behavior at least to the extent people tolerate me now.

Let me know how that works out, Roger. I may try it for myself. Meanwhile I sit here waiting for stories to be posted in the Workshop, my gut twisting in the wind. So, what’s holding you up? Old age?

I read the back of rat poison carton this morning. I’m running out of material.

Welcome

Adrian

When I was much younger I would occasionally read the fine print on toilet paper wrapping. I especially remember the health warning about the risk of lead poisoning from using newspaper for the job. *thinks - maybe there's a story there somewhere*

Come on Smartass, I expect more thorough research from you. I posted that comment, before I put up the piece of writing about Cashies. And Yes it is CashConverters.

Heehee. Oh OX you sure can make me giggle. Thanks for that.
