Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

Good Afternoon fellow members! I am (Obviously) new here :). The name is Rebecca, I am a 46-year-old mother of 4 grown kids. I have mostly been a stay-at-home mom (hardest yet most rewarding 'job' I've ever had!). My older three kiddos are between the ages of 21 and 26 and all in college fulltime, minus my eldest son whom is married now! My last born (whom is 20 yrs old) is a Marine (on his way to being shipped out over seas... YES I am terrified.. but I AM PROUD! :)...)
I have spent most of my life (when not parenting) creating art, experimenting with photography and writing poetry as well as short stories. Right now I'm working on a Sim 4 based chapter story accumpanied by art I've created through Sims snapshots :). I haven't looked around this forum much yet so I'm not aware wether we can add photo's to our stories or not... if not I'll prob. stick to posting poetry :). I really look forward to meeting new people and reading new material!
... let the adventure begin :)

Welcome Rebecca! You're a kid compared to some of us, so you may as well consider this play time. People post photos and stories all the time, so share whatever you like. It's nice to have you with us. :)

Woo-hoo another poet !... and from California !!! _{(waving to you from Garden Valley)}

Looking forward to your contributions.

Hi,

I'm Nihal, from India. I enjoy reading thrillers and old-classics. Currently, I'm reading Shakespeare's Hamlet; I enjoy works by the bard a lot! I hope to stick around and engage in fun discussions and learn a lot from this community.

Thanks for reading! :)

Hi everyone! Just found this place and can't believe it's taken me this long! My name is Pat and I'm a 19 year old college student from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I mostly enjoy reading fantasy/sci-fi stuff, but I'm also a huge fan of the specific way some writers (see: Steinbeck) portray realistic fiction settings. Right now I'm reading Cannery Row which is terrific and I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for something somewhat short to read. I also own two cats and am a big fan of cats in general. This seems like a great community and I can't wait to become a part of it.

Hello,

My name is Vitra and love books about Beatrix Potter, English landscapes and London.

My name is Oscar and I was born and raised in Ireland. My parents are German but they always spoke English at home. My main focus is English poetry which I study in Dublin. I also have an interest in German poetry however. In the English language I find myself returning to Spenser, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Yeats, Kavanagh and Heaney. In French to English translation novelists such as Celine rather. Homer and Virgil are obvious influences and I would like to learn more about pre-Socratic philosophy as well as Plato and Aristotle. For this reason I am a member of my university's Classics Society. Erasmus is a possibility at my university and if by that time my German language proficiency is of a high standard then perhaps I could learn Middle High German in Germany. Aside from that there is a masters at my university where you learn to translate literature and I particularly find medieval translation interesting. I am eighteen years old.

Welcome to the site, Oscar. I wish I knew more about the pre-Socratics, too. They seem so remote, yet they influenced Nietzsche, who was so important to modern thought. Good luck with your studies and again welcome. :)

Hi. I haven't posted in a couple of years, but I'm hoping for a sort of resurgence. This is such a great site and I met such lovely people here.

Hi everyone, I'm Brad! New here! 😊

Does anyone know how to post a story without the 'tabs' or indents being taken out when pasted?
