    Hello from South Florida.

    I received an email suggesting that I introduce myself. At first I was reluctant because the person, or computer, asking me to introduce myself didn't exactly introduce their self. I think it is a polite gesture to introduce yourself before requesting another individual to do so. Today I realized how silly it would be to not introduce myself because I received an automated email and not a introduction from someone out of the land of Writers Forum.

    With that said, here I am. A young man following his dreams. Just a year ago I realized I had no choice but to write. It was my second year of college then, and the strangest things began to occur. Everything was changing! My motivations to wake and greet the day. My mind sets of why I was going to do the things I had chosen to do (my goals), and with how I was going to accomplish them was changing. Things I once found pleasurable were now obsolete to who I was becoming. I began to question my choice in major (Psychology), and found myself deviating from my required courses to take other courses like World Literature, Creative Writing, and Poetry. Things were becoming pretty obvious to me and I....

    Unfortunately, the paragraphs above are all that remains of the best self introduction I have ever written. When I selected the "Preview Post" option, prior to submitting my original introduction, I was asked to log back into my account. After I doing what I was instructed to do, I was directed to a blank page. The result of whatever occurred is the two paragraphs above. I attempted to retrieve the submission through the autosave, but was not able to. I would attempt to redo my introduction, but I'm beginning to think it is best to stick with what I am left with. To reconstruct something so original would be impossible and ultimately useless.

    With that said, this is my introduction. A fragmented fraction of who I really am.

    Hi there, and welcome. Introductions are not meant to be literary masterpieces (who buys them, anyway???), just saying hello to everyone. Enjoy the boards!

    Hi there. Welcome to WF.

    Hello and welcome to WF! The cut off introduction leaves an air of mystery about you.

    You're right, an introduction isn't meant to be a masterpiece. Thanks for the conformation and the welcome.
