Thread: Introduction

Hi,
My name is Astrid and I am new to this forum. I am 25-years-old and live in the Netherlands. I mostly write non-fiction, such as a personal journal and informative/research blog on mental health. I also occasionally try my hand at poetry. When I was a teen, I used to write short stories, but I seem to have lost the skill (not that I had much in the first place, but oh well). I'm not sure I'm ready to post my work here because I don't have too high confidence, so I will mostly start out by commenting on others' work.

Welcome to the forums, Astrid.

Wecome to the forum Astrid, we ask you make 10 posts before posting in the creative sections anyway, it helps stop spam, but I am sure you will find that you are more literate than some who post here, don't be shy, we were all new once.

Thank you.

Welcome Astrid.

Hi there Astrid, and welcome to Writing Forums. Hoi, ik ben Vlaamse en woon en werk in Dendermonde, Oost-Vlaanderen.

Hi Astrid,
Pleased to meet you.

I can remember my fears at posting, what could I say as a novice to someone who writes fantastically well?

All writers need readers. If you enjoy something, say so, that's all it takes.
