Hi Ranjha! Nice to have you with us.

I'm originally from New Zealand but recently moved to the US to be with my American hubby.
Looking forward to some inspiration here.

Hello all.
I am a history student from the UK, and to put it simply I love literature. My other interests include astronomy, jazz, metaphysics and learning Spanish.
My favourite writer is Scott Fitzgerald. My favourite books are The Great Gatsby, Lolita, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Secret History, Of Mice and Men and The Virgin Suicides. I am also fond of reading poetry; my favourite poets are Emily Brontė and Ezra Pound. My favourite poem is Ginsberg's Howl. I also read many short stories although I have to say I seldom venture outside of Fitzgerald's vast arsenal.
I have greatly enjoyed the insights found here thus far and I look forward to getting to know others and contributing myself where I am able to
Hello Aspie and welcome to the site. I hope you are enjoying my beautiful country (if not, give it some time.
Greetings Ivy. There is a thread for astronomy here and a whole forum for philosophy (plus Fitzgerald and Nabokov fans galore). I prefer 18th-19th century books myself (also ancient lit and new Booker-type stuff) but The Secret History is a special favorite. It sounds like you will fit right in here. Welcome indeed.

Hi All
I am new to this forum, live in Australia and probably a lot older than many other Literature Network participants.
My reading is fairly eclectic but I do have a particular interest in the verse novel form - haven't found any relevant discussions on here yet?
I will probably do a lot of reading of other posts over the next several days/weeks, before venturing to make contributions.
I am excited by what I have read so far I am very much looking forward to becoming an active learner and participant in the future.

Welcome ~Ji. There is a wide range of ages on LitNet, so don't worry about that. I'm in my mid-fifties and I'm always amazed to find out who is older when the someone or other 'fesses up. There are also younger people here, some of whom amaze me with their maturity. Maybe I'm easily amazed.
Hi all,
English is not my first language Spanish Is and I am also learning Japanese.
I am an active learner and I always try to improve myself by learning something new every day.
Besides reading and writing I enjoy movies, cartoons and pretty much everything that entertains the mind since for some reason I am unable to find peace inside my head.
My main goal here is to meet a lot of grammar Nazis since I want to improve my writing skills a lot.
I am currently working in my novel (in Spanish) is the story of a person who can manipulate dreams (kind of like the movie inception but not with a complete retarded story)
I am happily married (not)
I am a lawyer (in a different country) working in an administrative position that doesn't require the skill of a lawyer which is good I never wanted to be lawyer however there is always people trying to push your life and trying to live what they couldn't with your life (right mom and dad?)
I am in love of a person (who doesn't love me in return) who is not my wife and not being honest with my wife is killing me.
I guess that sums my life right now.
I will start reading and absorbing everything you present in this forum and will start to make contributions later on.
I will gladly contribute in every way I can.
Thanks

Hello to All:
I began to write when I was 14 and was put on Diary Probation. I had to keep track of everyone I talked to and what was said. It was boring. So I made up friends and conversations about robbing a bank. The Judge I turned in my work weekly never said a word. This was the start of my writing efforts.
As a teenager, I sold Bibles door to door and traveled to many States with a sales crew. This was the beginning of my education. It was also helpful in becoming a proud Atheist.
I went on to earn a BA (Film and TV Production). Then an MA (Playwriting). Then I joined the faculty of the Theater Arts Department and taught for many years.
When I got tired of teaching I formed a Film and TV Production company and did this for too many years.
Whenever I got a block of free time I wrote. I write Stage Plays and Screenplays. The last few years I've been working in Fiction.
I'm an Expat living in Mexico.
I look forward to participating in the forums.
Have a nice writing day.
Hello Zasik.
Welcome. It sounds like you and I have similar styles to life. A day without learning something new is a wasted day. When I was growing up I used to read a dictionary at bedtime and if I didn't learn at least 4 new words, I felt like I'd cheated myself.
I look forward to participating with you. I'm glad you joined the forum.
Have a happy writing day.

Oh dear, like the white rabbit in Wonderland, I'm late!
Welcome Senior Zosik. My advice to you is to stop canoodling or at least make sure that your wife doesn't read your posts. But welcome in any case. It's nice to have you with us.
