Great to have you with us, DJ. :)
Hi guys! My name is Krissy. I'm a sixteen-year-old aspiring author. I've been writing on other sites like fanfiction and fictionpress for about five years (I've always loved literature). This is my first time on this particular site, but I'm always looking to better myself. So hobbies... Hm, here comes the list.
Firstly I love reading, writing, and anything in between. I love art, I can sketch very well as I've taken many classes both online and in school for it. I'm an okay painter but I never really had a passion for it. Though I can look at any kind of art all day (with a few exceptions). I love, absolutely love, to bake – especially bread, which I only started recently (my moms not too happy about it. She told me she's already gained ten pounds from it and that if I cook anymore I'm grounded, lol). I love music as well. I play piano and guitar—self taught—since I was twelve. I sing, mostly at church, competition, and other things. Last year in a duet me and my component won fourth at state level. I'd love to do a solo but I just can;t sum up the courage. My favorite subjects in school are literature and history. I think I love history so much because you can take a lot of that and incorporate it into writing. I also for some reason like biology and I'm probably going to take AP biology this summer since I'm taking regular biology right now.
I'm only sixteen years old so I don't have my entire future planned completely, but I have a few ideas. I've always loved the study of blood, in a totally non creepy way. Just the way that blood cells work together to do the most basic functions and how they can mutate and cause things like cancer. Plus I've non alot of friends and family member who have been affected by cancer and if I could do anything to help I would love to. So I really want to go into pre-med for college (I'm looking at Baylor University (I live in Texas so it would be in state tuition) and if I get accepted to a medical school then I would like to go into hematology or hematology-oncology.
Other dreams I have for my future would be to own my own publishing company. This would be my main dream becasue it's my true passion. I'd also like to run a little bakery on the side. No matter what I do I want to write a book/book series one day. I'm currently working on a book. I'm going through the outlining process. And I'm an absolute outliner. I will live and die by my outlines. Plus I love to do rigorous character backgrounds and characterization. I also get all my plot turns and all that good stuff. I stated really getting into writing in seventh grade when my English teacher gave me back my paper (with 110%!) and told me it was a beautiful paper and that I should really look into writing as a career. She then read the paper outloud and I made half the girls cry *evil laugh*. Then she read it to all the high schoolers, too. Talk about an esteem lift. It was a sad story though. It made me sad writing it. However, I'm also realistic and I know that writing as a career is not very realistic. But that won't stop me!!!
Bye guys. Hope to make friends on here.

As a result I became happier inside and enjoy my life in the external world.

Hi. just saying hi to new community.
I like literature and that's why I am here.
Welcome, Van. The external world has undeniable charms, but at present I prefer inner life. It's cheaper. :)
Hey, ship! Welcome aboard. :)
Hi everyone, I'm a Spanish student of English Philology. I just wanted to say how glad I am that I found this community :)
Hi everyone,
I'd like to introduce myself:
For the time being, my name is PC. When I come up with a better one, I'll let you know. As far as the avatar is concerned, I must be honest that I have never thought of an avatar before. That's why I haven't one...
What can I say about me? Well, I am European. European? Yes, I was born in Germany to Italian parents and right now I live in Spain. And guess what! I speak four languages: German, Italian, Spanish and English. What I most enjoy about languages is getting to know new idioms, i.e. their meaning, their origin, etc. So, I am open to any new idiomatic contribution...
As you can imagine, I am here on this forum because I am interested in literature, or more precisely, in people that are interested in literature.
Right now, my literary priority is Postcolonial Literature which is something that goes beyond National literature. I guess that's why it is so attractive to me. Beside books, I am a big fan of music and try to learn to play the guitar which is taking me now over 20 years.
That's all for now from a new kid on the forum
Hello, everyone!
Another Spaniard student here ^^
Welcome Inma, PC, and mgr. I have been to Cordova, PC. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen (and I've been around). Are you all from the same place, or is your simultaneous arrival a coincidence?
Hi there! My name is Jose Luis. I hope you are doing well!
Welcome, Jose. It's nice to have you with us. :)
