Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

Hello to all you new members! [and old ;) ] great to have you here :)

I've started posting a little, so I thought I might introduce myself... I'm an English teacher, specialized in literature, but I take an interest in various things - arts and humanities in general, I'd say, especially philosophy and literary criticism. I've still got a lot of things to learn and books to read!

I find this forum marvellous, because it's not only about literature, for one thing, and I've already noticed quite a few interesting people! And it's already encouraged me to go and look up a few authors I didn't know!! I don't live in an English-speaking country, so this forum is wonderful to practise my language skills as well. Thanks a lot, therefore.

hiiiiii every body
i have just regester and i wish to have a nice time here
well,am 3rd year student of english literature that is why i joined this forum
i hope that u help me cus our prose course doctor is realy tough and i need help

Hello, my screne name is Serieve, and if you'd like to shorten it, you can. My real name is Krystal. Like that restaurant that serves really tiny but delicious burgers, which I rather wish I had at the moment.

I tend to use a lot of qualifiers in my writing.

And I also tend to use "Anyway" a lot as a subject changer. Just to warn you.

Anyway, I'm just an AP student. I'm in AP Lit and Comp this year. I enjoy it, but I find that I prefer AP Language. If you had asked me last year, I would have guessed Literature was my preference, but that's just not the case, it seems. Surprised myself, a little.

I'm a senior, trying to scrape up enough money to pay for a $31,698 comprehensive fee, for my dream college. Just waiting for some of these scholarship decisions to come it. Writings skills really help with those essays. I brag to myself in private, becuase most of my friends a like "What good is an English Major, except for teaching?" But then they encounter all those applications with required essays, and now look who has the advantage.

That's okay, though. They're doing well enough, as am I.

That was a bit more like random babble than an introduction, but there you have it. >.o

welcome to LitNet

Hi again, SleepyWitch, hi natasssha, hi everyone.
I registered myself last year already and I am in constant peril of getting lost here … but, hopefully, with time and luck I will be able to remember where to find my last post and everything … :blush:

Hi everyone :wave:

Joined to see if any of the UK members are attending the Oxford Literary Festival in April.

Hi! I'm an american who loves to read! Not especially intelligent, I am quirky and whimsical! . . . my current favorite author is marcus aurelius . . . I'm also a fan of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, C.S. Lewis, and Isaac Asimov . . .

I've read a few books online, but never before ventured into the slightly precarious realm of these blogs (y'all love to talk!).

Liulinxii, welcome!! I was wondering, do you speak cantonese or mandarin? I would like to take a course in chinese, but do not know which is best (I'm a nurse and plan on going to China later this year to provide healthcare services to the rural areas of china). This is, of course, assuming you hail from China!

Welcome aboard, Kwistina :wave: I hope you come here as often as you can. :D I, too, am a fan of Elizabeth Barret Browning. I have a short collection of her poems (Sonnets from the Portuguese and other poems). I wonder which one do you find the best? I personally adore A Curse for a Nation, The Cry of The Children and Cheerfulness Taught by Reason. :)

Good afternoon to those in EST. I just discovered this forum when going a search on book genres. I am currently writing an article for a local newspaper about our booksellers and wanted to get an online list of universal book genres.

This seems like a good place to talk about books and writing, both of which are of great interest to me.

I am recently retired, and this writing gig is free-lance and low paying.

Hope to find my way around the board in the next days and weeks.

Hi.

My name is my own. It's unique, eccentric and unusual... as am I.

I was born and live in Canada but on the American border, my grandmother was English, My hubby is a Scot, my oldest is a french/english bilingual.

I've written short stories about children with special needs, so they can understand what they have, and so can those who are not of literary understanding, or masters of linguistics. I did this out of need. Now for myself, I am trying my hand at a full-length sci-fi type novel. I have 11 pages and the plot thought out...lol. I'm a real newbie at writing, but I'm good, if I can get past my own grammar.

I have excellent computer skills, although I'm a 2 finger typist and look at my keyboard. My spelling is excellent, and it's rare that I reach for spell check or a dictionary, although sometimes my typing is faster than the keyboard can keep up...lol. I'm also dyslexic and rarily will you know it.

My cousin taught me to read about the age of 3, good thing as my mom can barely read. I'm an avid and sometimes a voracious, reader. I was tested twice, first at age 12... and again about 10 yrs ago. Both times I read 240 words per minute, reading every word and comprehending what I read.

I only have a college background, and that's to counsel children and youth, which I have never done. I'm a JK Rowlings... BEFORE she became famous...lol... poor as a pauper.

I have lots of inspiration in my children, grandchildren, friends, clients, neighbours, pets and wildlife. They're all quite a bunch of characters...lol.

~ Shrugs ~ that's me... nice to meet you all!
