Trying to break the ice...
A little bit confused about where to introduce myself, I decided to make it twice so as not to be lost!:smile5:
This is a very difficult step!
It is not easy to speak about oneself and at the same time try to give a good first impression since it is by these words I will be remembered forever in this forum!
Just arriving to the neighborhood, being the new guy in the area, what can I say?:
"Hi everybody!" or "Esteemed fellow members!"
The first is overly familiar for a first time, too early to use it!
The second is... how to put it? Too pedantic!
So how to start this?
Well, close the eyes and jump into the arena:
Hello forum people, I am happy to share this place with you all!
(OK, it seems fifty-fifty)
Now, the second part is as hard as the first: How do I describe myself?
"I am a writer!" No, no, too early to be a writer, maybe with time I will earn the definition but not now.
"I am an amateur writer!" This is true, but I do not like to show me too humble after all!
Here we go:
I love to write and I think here I have the opportunity to make my work known and get evaluated, to participate in a place with talented people who may review, edit, and comment my need to endow posterity with a string of words in disguise of a story. And with time, learn to reciprocate in kind.
My 'bio' is plain enough:
I was born! Undoubtedly!
Then I tried hard to recognize the difference between the white and black that gives form to the letters that make the words of our beautiful language, and now, in the spaces that my work and travels allow me, I try to become a "storyteller".
In my eagerness to know the end of a tale when I am writing, I end up writing micro-stories, mini-stories, or nano-stories since I cannot wait all the time to reach the end of a novel.
Having in mind a statement made by Stephen King about his will to write a short story always ends in a big volume, I will end this introduction here, before it takes the path toward a lengthy script.
I must also add, that the similitude with Mr. King in writing, is only in the way I can make grow a description of myself. Unfortunately, there is no similitude en talent!
Thank you for reading all this rigmarole!
