Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

Hello all. I just registered here and hope to peer through this porthole onto life's expanses. I've tended to focus on pursuits, a trait that serves one well, while too often leaving the panorama unappreciated. I've come here to slake my thirst for well expressed ideas about well expressed ideas, and from what I've sampled so far, I've found reason to be optimistic. I don't expect to agree with probably 90% of what I find here, but I'll try to appreciate the thoughts expressed as much as I'll enjoy those provoked.

Id like to introduce myself simply through a piece of my own writing. I can think of no better way to do so.....Glad to join The Literature Network, this is me:

....
This is why you came here. This, possibly, is the result of sitting in the same spot trying to remember the same thoughts; the ones that slipped away. So, it’s just a matter of time now. Rather, a sordid negligence for the realization that you can’t bring time down, or take it with you to say- in the minimal sense; not in this place; not in this tense. And from that comes a certain tension, in mind or of it, that every intention paid henceforth to ascertain an attention of “mine”, but in this case, above it, and in every way the same as the subversive retention and blame, but only in passing, of an ascetic so passively ashen. Who could really feel like this? Could anyone be this pathetically passionate??

Hello, so I'm pretty new at all of this, but I am beginning to gain an appreciation for classic works. I want to read more and learn from discussing with others!

Hi everyone,

I am Mike Fisherman from CA. I am 26 years old and I am a mechanical engineer. I love to swim and para-glide. I am a bit crazy about Football and I am a huge fan of Ronaldo.

Hello all,
Just wanted to stop in and say new reader/writer in the midst. I look forward to reading your stories and hearing your criticism on my own work. Thank you!

Hello!

I'm a Master's student at Oxford, studying creative writing. I currently live in Vancouver, BC and occasionally make money writing for magazines and teaching after-school creative writing classes to teenagers. Exciting, I know.

Cheers!

Hello

I am a long graduated English Major, seeking to get back to her literature loving roots. I live in Portland, OR and I work in the insurance industry (basically an underwriter) and love reading, writing and taking care of my husband and son.

I look forward to further conversations.

Hi — I‘m Eva, a small publisher based in New York; I am publishing books, movies, and music from Berlin. The next book will be "Mark Twain in Berlin". I am also a journalist and an author. My last literary book was "Manhattan Moments", and my last book is about the Tea Party.

I'm here to share knowledge via story &inspiration with poetry like this I wrote for a gal starting to learn guitar..caution, my writing is somtimes slightly erotic! Here's a taste:

Hinterwinter Music
white peaceful & bright the sun shines
gleaming gold from the deepest of mines
music plays from strings vibrating from your astute hands
that lights all hearts in the park as if in a paradise of fruit & sands
sounds from playing bring around children by a fountain
as finishing the song you feel as if just climbed the highest mountain
later we sell cinnamon rolls homemade & perfect smiles we receive like beautiful tiles
with roses around we kept inside, at night show our love in the snow
as a sunflower grows in Spring, inside energy flows until eyes are aglow

& plz enjoy this too, mostly i'm interested in nature, truth, expansion & love so be honest with what you think!

Food paradise
fields of oats & abundance in many notes
apples blooming by every road
falling & jumping from trees peaches grow more than in a marsh does tadpoles & toads
Green houses shoot up life in oreganos & basil & the water that sprays around dazzles
as light effuses the land & levitates lifeforce in splenderous giant & succulent strawberries
that are used in fruit salads with brown sugar from mammoth canes
reaching the sky as the cherry & durian trees on many lanes
chaga mushrooms on lots of trees glowing bright white
used in teas along with rooibos & mints perfuming the land as lavender & lifts all as wind to a kite

Hello there, I just joined your forum because it seems like a good place with good people :)

I have been told that lists are good so:

- I am 25

- I live in the UK

- My love for literature / English was recently rekindled, on an epiphany type basis (after five years of full time employment, I came to the stunning realisation of what I want, which is to be a teacher)

- In terms of what I 'do' in my spare time, well another list is really in order but currently I'm TRYING to keep a handle on the following: writing some fiction, writing some music, learning project management, learning German, learning to maintain my motorcycle, learning to ride my motorcycle, drawing (bad) pencil portraits, joining an athletics/running club, volunteering at youth groups, volunteering at cub scouts, planting trees, applying for jobs left right and centre (this in advance of applying for a teaching degree, later in the year), brushing up on my world history, brushing up on my literature, getting pretty good with Christian apologetics, flying to visit my girlfriend every few weeks - and generally trying to be grateful for things too.

I'm looking forward to getting involved here, so take care and see you around :)

Hello Readers All!

I am a Latin and Greek teacher from London. I enjoy reading a variety of literature and discussing prose and poetry with other readers, so this seems like the forum for me.

laughter, light and love... :grouphug:

Hi I'm Paige. I'm 16 and i love reading. Though i don't read as many classics as i should, i love the fantasy worlds created by authors like Tamora Pierce, Christopher Paolini and Brian Davis.

Hello everyone. I am an English major at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I love to clean, cook, decorate, make things, etc. My favorite book is The Scarlet Letter. My favorite author is J.R.R Tolkien (I am an unapologetic LOTR fan) and I am currently reading Walden and Civil Disobedience by Thoreau for academic purposes (and for kicks. I love my transcendentalists) and, when the rare bit of free time comes by way, I am in the middle of the Game of Thrones series by George R. R. Martin.

Welcome, PML. Reading over the few posts you've written, I think you'll make a great addition to this forum. You seem to be thoughtful and informed.

And I'm also a fan of Martin's Ice and Fire series. Check out this thread for discussion and some heated debate that took place.
