Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

Hello, all. New to site. Found this site in search. I'm a poet, editing my first collection of poems for publication. I was initially drawn to this site because I have 2 lit questions that have bugged me for years. Now I see there may be more here for me that I thought!

Not ready to share much about me at this time. Suffice to say that my favorite type of literature is biography-history-poetry-fictional international intrigue-scifi-fantasy-mystery. Since I have yet to find that one perfect book that includes all of this, I'll just have to keep reading until I find it! Or maybe after I publish my first poetry collection, I'll just write it.

Oh, to be clear, I was told early in life I had a "gift" for writing (whatever that is!), but had no interest in pursuing a lit career. Ended up in math and science, then in the IT sector, then provided management consulting services for many years. Now semi-retired, playing music, building instruments, doing community service work, and writing.

Hi and werlcome :) Mayb with thime you`ll share with us a piece of your work?

Hi all, my name is Christopher Wallace. I have just joined this forum to hopefully get inspired to write more. Cant wait to take a look around.

Hello all, just joined in the middle of this cold wet night...

Hello.

I'm new here joined today on 17th 4th 2014 and I love Science Fiction, some horror Films and some Action Films so much I sometimes do writing stories of my favorite genres science fiction never get my stories complete. I don't think their good enough for really publishing as a book got great titles for them and characters hero and villain just words I struggle with coming up with words hope you can help me here with grammer. Is what I come on for. If I don't get it published it might help me getting grammer right online. I also like wet and messy fun please don't let that put you off me I'm not a bimbo just you can't be watching tele all the time so some other activity of some sports or whatever so I don't like playing football nor do much sports so I do wet and messy as another way of keeping active and my fun and enjoyment. Please don't let that put you off me. I'm friendly. I'm friends with anyone don't care what race or background are from. I don't Smoke nor drink beer a lot and I don't drive and single. I sell Home and some cosmetics products.

I'm the author Benjamin Anderson--please check out my thread in introductions.

My favorite books are by Steinbeck. His book Travels With Charley was assigned reading in school around the time I kindled my passion for writing, and it likely inspired my trip across the US at eighteen. I have enjoyed A. Lee Martinez when I need to cool down. In the Company of Ogres was by far his best book, a must-read for fantasy enthusiasts.

Hi all,

My interest are:

Comparative Literature and Mythology
Narrative, specially novels
Studying religious texts from a literatury perspective.
Literary Theory

I studied electrical engineering and currently a masters in humanities with literature focus, online, basically I got tired of self-taught learning, because I felt I didn't have direction, however I'm starting to get a better perspective to learn by my self more effectively and turned into a MOOC junkie =)

I'm also interested in narrative in manga/anime/videogames and teaching.

My current projects are:
-Reading the Bible (jew, catholic, christian and orthodox) from a literary perspective.
-Research on character design based on two factor models of personality for a game script.
-Survive work and school

Happy to be here!

Not sure, about this format, but.... I am "Tom Hudson", living in Asia, born in NY City, lived my teens on both northern coasts of the US, my late twenties & thirties I spent in Urban city social work in the US, and finally over to the Himalayan Mt.s in the late 1980's on through 1997 ish.... then in the new century , I lived in Colorado, with jaunts back over into the Himalayan Mt.s to keep the fires burning, and now settled back into life in Nepal. I have a wonderful wife who has done it ALL with me hand in hand, and we have seen our four children come and be raised with us as we have lived this adventure, and they are a joy to me as they gleefully carry on in their lives to higher things.
Over the years, a constant in the mix of much activity and work has been a tie and bonding with Literature. Tho the locations and activities have been varied, there has been "those certain boxes" of my "must have with me books" that have been toted all over the world....

So," HI!"

I found you while I was looking up some reference to a Oscar Wilde essay with his ol' Sphinx in it.

So, let's see how "this" works!

Helloooo. Look Forward To Meeting Some New People and Learning Lots and Lots MORE !

A warm hello to you all.

I am a writer of fact-fiction thrillers, conspiracy-based. Insiders know that this genre is more a matter of research than writing in the first place. This summer of 2014 my first novel appears in the US after it was translated from Dutch to US-English.
Time for a little experiment. I expose the genre with the use of keywords. Please respond if you feel attracted by one or another.
Here we go:

Japan, mythology, myth, holy grail, shrine, imperial, suspense, mercenary, jews, shinto, priest, kunaicho, Emperor, relic, regalia, action, sun goddess, Yata no Kagami, 12 tribes of Israel.

That's all.

Best of luck!

Ben

Hi, I am Narayanan from Bangalore. I like to read, read and read. That's all for now.
