Surreal

As you can see, I just joined the forum. I did not just randomly join the forum, nor was it spontaneous. No, I have been watching the forum for over a week (mainly the fantasy section). Its nice to know people review each others work. Hopefully when I get the guts to post mine here it will be reviewed and not left all by itself.

I am not particularly a writer in nature. I have bad grammar/bad spelling and rely on word/other people to get me doing everything correctly. Uh, my spelling may be different from Americans as in New Zealand we use the UK spelling.

Umm... I really can't think of anything else to say. If you want to ask me something, go ahead. If you want me to post my story right now, well just wait awhile, it will soon be posted. (I think we have to review other people's stories before we post one).

So yeah, I am just an ordinary guy in an extraordinary forum. Some creative support may be available to me here.

Sup surreal? Welcome cant wait to read ur work. And just to let you know I think the majority of ppl that post on here are from Europe anyway. So yeah 'UK spelling' I dont think is going to bother many ppl, but they will jump your bones about grammar. Just make sure you check it atleast once before you post. I normaly dont and I get in trouble.... *sad face*

Aha, well then I may have a few people that won't be so impressed by my pieces of work. But alas, all will work out in the end once I write too much.

Yeah, my grammar is poor and sometimes word choice say people who have read through what I have written. It's probably because I tend to not pick up on my own mistakes. I skip through when I re-read stuff because I know what should be there and don't take note on what is or isn't.

Also, I was never that good at grammar and I think some of my teachers dislike me for that. Especially when it comes to marking my work and they can't read my handwriting and they see different spellings then I see. (Sometimes my handwriting is messy enough for words that were spelt correct to look incorrect.)

But enough about me, I'm here to learn about writing and how to improve. So I hope to see some of you close reading my work.
