Howdy ho, you writers ;)
Just to say hi.
I don't think of myself as a writer (at least not yet : ) ,although i have written few short stories, couple of poems and some other stuff (actually dont know how to call them; a bunch of words maybe  ).
Always had a yearn for writting, though, but never actually "took the chance". In last few weeks, beacuse of some circumstances i ended up with lots of free time, and enough will to start to try writing. And die trying, i guess 
I've joined to get some advice, firstly, ('cause i think i'll need a lot of that ) and to share ideas and progress as much the same...
Thats it , for the start... ahh... not to forget, i'm from non-english speaking country, so in front i appologize for possible misunderstandings and typos
**cheers** |

Hi there Johnathan,
I'm a newbie here myself, so hey, we can 'learn' together. lol. And as for not speaking proper English, I AM English and still f**k up. There you go see, a bit of improper use right there!

No, that was technically right. 'Tis a common misconception that you can't end a sentence with a proposition.
Anyways, welcome! Ye shall find all kinds of characters on the forums, some good... and some bad.

You're not alone in the whole "English is not my first language" thing. Not saying that I know any language other than English, I just know that there are people around here who are like that. Welcome to the forums.
