Thread: Greetings

Hello to my fellow forum-users.

I am actually wanting to hear from some of you on the matter of successful blogging, but that thread is pending mod approval I suppose, so here I am instead.

Right now, I would love to know who here has any interest or familiarity with the work(s) of Leo Tolstoy, George MacDonald, Niccolo Machiavelli, Anton Chekhov, etc. I am interested because I have a blog rather devoted to excerpts and commentary from authors such as these, and I am not sure how to engage others in reading and discussing it.

My interests are quite broad, but I have a particularly keen fascination with human psychology, history, and the study of philosophy. Right now I am mostly focused on completing two of my novels, I hope to have them prepared for publication by this summer. I also quite enjoy writing essays and news-style articles, though I have yet to share any of these broadly.

So, in short, I am glad to be on the forums, and hopefully there shall be some interesting discussions in the future.

Welcome to the forums, Toading.

Hi and welcome, Toadling.

Hi Toadling,
great to have another intellectual, it helps balance out the shallow doodlers like me.

I don't know that I'd consider myself particularly intellectual. I am simply a student of life; I love knowledge and learning.

At any rate, I have done my fair share of scribbling over the years. Writing is just something natural to me, though, akin to breathing.

Pleased to meet you;
