Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

Hello! I haven't really written anything since leaving school 13 years ago. I used to write short stories obsessively as a child and I'm not entirely sure why I stopped. Anyway, I've decided to have a go at it again, not that I expect to be any good at it, it's just for the enjoyment. My recent attempts have been pretty bad. In fact, really bad. I find myself dozing off just reading some of them back. What I'm looking for is an opinion or two on exactly why they are bad. It's not that I expect to be able to master writing having been away from it for so long, it's just that I believe you get more enjoyment out of anything the more proficent you become. It's strictly a hobby at the moment though. If I improve a great deal, I might start submitting the odd piece to magaines and such, but that's about the limit of my ambition. Glad to be here!

Haaaai
Yea so i'm new here.... I'm just finishing of year 9, yes I'm young. I am a huge bookworm, mostly because of the fact that my dad owns a bookshop! So I love English, and novels, and love to write. I've been learning french and spanish for a while. I'm half european half asain, girl living in Bahrain. I love, writing, painting, singing and watching WWE.I am a very random child, I get distracted easily, and can be very childish, but when I need to be, I can be serious and am always there for my friends.
I love making friends so yea!

Welcome!

I am an enigma in a geographical area of acute conformity to specific cultural attitudes that baffle me and consequently cause me confusion and resentment. Everyone says Howdy and expects you to reply in a likewise fashion. There are no secrets on the surface everyone appears to be like everyone else; open, honest, practical, earnest, Believing in a Fearful God that they actually see and raise their arms to, simple and just plain folk.
I on the other hand don't speak to strangers and never say Howdy. I have lots of secrets and never admit to seeing anything I don't see but still have a certainty that I will sometime actually see the Images and Visions that others say they see NOW because I truthfully said I did not see them THEN. I still won't be saying Howdy or telling anyone of the Things I expect others to see because now I too see them.

Please correct me!!

I'm not Jayat but let me add something to his answer. Gonzalo de Berceo is traditionally considered the first writer to be known by his name in Old Spanish. More strictly, he wrote in Old Riojan, a transitional variety between Old Castilian (Spanish proper) and Old Aragonese, using Basque words from time to time as the region spoke Basque in those times too. (Basque is an old language, completely unrelated to the other seven languages of Spain, which are Romance)

Hello there :)
I am absolutely terrible with introductions, but I'll do my best! Here it goes...
My name is Amanda and I currently live in Tunnel Hill, GA, but I will be moving to Atlanta soon.
I am about to start my final year of college where I will be graduating with a B.A. in English and Comparative Literature with a minor in Philosophy. I enjoy reading just about anything, or I should say I at least give most books a chance. I'm also a bit of a writer, mostly short works of fiction, but I am trying to expand that a bit into longer works. I'm a tad shy at first so I don't have much to say at the moment, but I do enjoy talking with people and discussing literature. Feel free to talk to me and ask me questions!
Thank you very much and I hope everyone has a lovely day :biggrin5:

I have an interest in Modernism and early Post-Modernism, and within that I am currently exploring Continental European writers.

Hello all, looking forward to your reviews on stories and eBooks!!

Hi, I'm Negin from Iran, 20 years old, Currently, studying English Literature and I really love it. I also teach English in an Institute. I loved reading books since childhood and I grew up living in the wizardry world of Harry Potter. He was my best friend and I guess is still one of my best friends... You know I live with the books and their characters sometimes....
I enjoy reading books that their events happen in other worlds not the real one such as harry potter, Narnia ...
Among classic works I ADORE Jane Eyre ...If I could choose to bring one of the characters of the stories into real life for my own I think it would be Edward Rochester...
I'm glad to meet new literature lovers here...Nice to meet you all.
