Good evening, all.
My name is Alejandro. I'm an engineer in training by trade.
I'm an amateur, just got into writing. I've always liked the idea of it. I like the idea that sites like this exist as I can use the little challenges/contests to commit myself to writing about something until I get a good idea to seriously think about. I am hoping to, over the years, at least self-publish something on the Kindle store, which is amazing that something like this exists.
welcome, alejandro!
yes, you should definitely join the next Literary Manuever.
Where are you studying? I am a hurricane grad myself.
Do not think it a kindness.
I'm in between Miami Dade and FIU. I have to attend both thanks to my schedule. I work full time. There aren't many night courses available for engineers...
Hi Alejandro. Welcome to WF.
What about the poetry challenges, Alan?Originally Posted by alanmt
“The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.” ~ James Allen
"Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best." ~ Henry Van Dyke

Welcome to WF Alejandro
Hi Alejandro, and welcome to the forums.
The sand of the desert is sodden red, -
Red with the wreck of a square that broke; -
The Gatling's jammed and the colonel dead,
And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.
The river of death has brimmed his banks,
And England's far, and Honour a name,
But the voice of schoolboy rallies the ranks,
"Play up! play up! and play the game!"
Vitai Lampada (Sir Henry Newbolt, 1897)
From the Home of Sir Henry Newbolt (a blog)
Welcome.
Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man. -Sir Francis Bacon
Welcome Alejandro, I'm an amateur too
Hi Alejandro, welcome.
Thanks everybody. As far as poetry is concerned, that would be really, really hard for me. I can always give it a shot, though. You know what, I will give it a shot.
Thanks for the suggestion. You never know, right?
