    Hello, I'm Stealth.

    I am 14 years old and have always loved reading and writing. I feel that recently I have improved a lot and I have gotten some fans on other sites. I am looking forward to meeting the community.

    Hi everyone, I just finished writing my first novel! I started it 6 months ago and it's been such a great experience. Writing my story was like reading a good book I couldn't put down. I was hooked! So far the feedback has been really good. I'm looking into self-publishing right now. I'm a stay at home mom with 3 young children. I decorate cakes, teach piano, sing and work part time at Old Navy. So don't ask me how the heck I found time to put together a novel!!

    Hey folks,

    I'm Mike. I'm a writer (or at least I'm a writer when I'm writing, but forget that) heavily influenced by Kafka, Gogol, Joyce, Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Adorno. I'm working on my first large-scale project right now. It's in the preliminary stages, so I don't want to split my consciousness my talking too much about it now. I also write a lot of short stories, which I throw onto my Wordpress at Frictional.org.

    I've recently begun reading The Stand. For years, I've been told that I ought to read it, and I finally caved in. King is certainly not my usual fare, but millions of fans can't be wrong, can they? I'm hoping that by reading Kind, I can infuse in my writing an ease of reading, a flow that my current writing lacks. I also hope that participating in the forum will help as well. That's why I'm here.

    Regards.
    -Mike

    Hi, I'm Kerry and I'm twenty. I have been reading and writing as if my life depends on it since I was thirteen and my mum is starting to get annoyed that I still have yet to show a single person so much as one sentance! So I have decided, after many threats about her taking my computer away, to join up because then I can say I have shown someone but that someone is not her. However you might not see anything for a while because I take shyness to a whole new level.

    It's hard posting the first one all the while thinking what the response will be like. You have to make yourself press the post button the first time. BUT, the people on here are nice and helpful.

    Hi
    I am not a robot, but I am a cyborg... does that count?
    At any rate my mechanical extremities have concocted a "Novel" with a colleague of mine. It pretty well took us just over a year to fully write the story. I just signed up to this site today with the hopes I may get some advice, creative critisism. We are currently in the works of writing 2~3 more books in the series, but we have yet to be published for the first. We are in the hopes of finding out where we can go from this point. I'm 27, and have never enjoyed anything as much as I enjoy writing, it has been a huge eye opener and I truelly can not picture myself doing anything else than write.
