Welcome to the community, Susan.

Hello, Susie! Welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the site, Susan.

Hi everyone!

If you'll permit, a little about myself:

I'm a 26 year old student from Ireland, currently studying medicine. I love music and playing guitar. Can you guess my favourite band?

I've read books since I was little and I absolutely love it. I love book shops and libraries. I can't really explain why but part of me finds being around books very soothing. For a long time recently I only read non-fiction but now I'm getting back into the wonderful world of stories and imagination.

Then one day recently I had the thought: why don't I try writing one of those story-thingies myself?

Cue lightbulb, google searches, youtube, writing advice, King's 'On Writing', more youtube, more google, and finally here.

I'm going to read more, write more, and hopefully some time in the future post some of my own stories. One thing I've noticed already is that writing is hard. Bloody hard! But I love it. I love the complete and utter freedom that I can create something that never was.

I aim to work hard at it, read plenty of posts and take lots of advice from the lovely people here.

Thanks,
fortysixandtwo

Hi there, and welcome! Yes, writing is hard, but well worth the effort.

Hi, my name is Lana, and I have started writing a couple of years ago. Now I am publishing my book, it's actually a combination of my previous three books, published in Russian language. I've almost finished translating it into English, will publish it after the Russian version. I am here to present my short creation, dedicated to the recent events in Japan. It's just happened that my only son lives in Tokyo and has been witnessing all that horror. Please follow me in the topic with Prose stories, the name is "Lave Ballad(letter to son)".

Hi, Lana. Welcome to the community.

Welcome to the forums, Lana!

thanks!

Hi,

because of how sensitive I am about my work I write under the pen name Skip Tumalu McDarlin but you can call me skippy
I have been writing for 11 years now, mostly poetry and short stories but for the past year i have been trying to work on a novel.
I hope to collaberate with other writrs and make some new friends.

Welcome to the forums, Skip!

Welcome to the site Lana.

Skip, what a cute pen name. I always loved that little song. Welcome.

Hi my name's Aidan Kelly and I'm a plasterer from Birmingham, England, I also do gag cartoons which have been published in a few magazines in England, (and a native American one in Montana, for some reason) including Private Eye, Viz and The Spectator. I enjoy reading the excellent stories posted on your forum so I thought I'd have a go at writing a story. I've posted the beginning of my crime story 'Opportunity Knocks" on the other thread.

Welcome Aiden, I like your cartoon.
