Hi Everybody! So glad to have found this forum! I used to write a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the process-- whether any of it was good or bad, beats me. I remember one instructor told me that a screenplay I wrote for class was like a bad Friends episode! That kinda dates my age. Of course I thought it was hilarious! In any event, I miss writing, I miss the process of writing, I miss the interaction with other writers. I also used to be an avid reader but there was a long period of no-reading. After several life-changing events in recent years, I picked up reading again starting with One Hundred Years of Solitude. I couldn't put it down and I had a hard time finding another book to live up to it after I was done. I found something completely different and fabulous in Tipping the Velvet. I've always done journal-writing and made notes about story ideas, plots, characters, etc. and now I want to put it all (or some of it) together. Anyway, looking forward to connecting with folks!

Welcome to the Forum If you like tipping the velvet, then you should enjoy fingersmith (by the same author) which I really liked.
Welcome to WF! Sounds like you'll fit right in. If you like Sarah Waters, The Little Stranger is also a wonderful, creepy book. It's not LGBT-themed, so that's a bit different, but the story is great and gave me proper chills! Anyway, here's our New Member Quick Start to get you started. See you around! -Kat
