we don't allow commercial links - that comes under the advertising rule Members can usually however link their work as a resource and have it put into the 'promote your amazon book' carousel which runs at top left on the main page... however since this is a family site with multiple young members we cannot run erotica publications in this carousel. In your case you could post your pen name , if any, and book title allowing interested members to search for you on amazon
I'm a bisexual woman in her early twenties, and I have a lot of kids. I think honestly that my writing reflects that well. I usually write about heroines in their early stages of life; but I have a really hard time sticking to any sort of specific sub-genre of fiction. I just write fiction.
Thank you for all the help. All points duly noted. "In your case you could post your pen name , if any, and book title allowing interested members to search for you on amazon" Anyone interested, you can go on Amazon and use the name H Atmenmeer and title "Plane to Seoul". I hope you find it and like it. "My body its a temple, old, crumbling, and haunted" We have the same body, Moose! Thank you for your help.
Having been told we cannot post links, etc. I am told we can have a pen name or real name and post the title of the book to find on amazon (or other ). Could you tell me your name/pen name and the title of your book? I'd like to have a look.
I am Wrey and I write Science Fiction, Magic Realism, occasional Fantasy, and unapologetically smutty fanfiction.
Who are you and what do you write? I am 48 years of age and still dont know who I am. Everyday is a struggle to answer that question. I am here because I typed into a search engine 'creative writing forums' and here I am. I have just signed up to a creative writing diploma. In the past I have written some dark poems, motivated by emotion. I have an interest in historical events. To be honest when I say I have an interest, what I mean is that these events in someway have become part of me. I see the way forward as getting them on paper. I also have a great love of comedy, over the years it has been healing to me. With that in mind, I hope to combine it with the darker material I intend to cover. My education background isnt strong. There is a lot of getting back to basics. Anyway, I am on a journey. I have no idea the destination. However, I know I have lots to say and write. Even if its only to myself.
I am Luca, a scientist doing medical research. I write gritty, hard pieces (speculative, dystopian, general fiction), mostly fit for people who would like some more or less intense sauce on their feelings. Yes, the flower is a coriander blossom.
I'm 36 or 37, not sure. I'm male, white, straight, somewhat autistic and Swedish. So, over-all, could be worse. I've been writing fanfiction for the last seven years or so, but I've been a writer/storyteller for as long as I can remember. Lately been trying to muster the motivation to attempt another serious original novel project, though it's still in the planning stage. I basically only write pretty lighthearted fantasy, and I consider myself an idealistic romantic and bit of a reconstructionist. I probably lean fairly heavily towards the YA side of things since I prefer writing empowering stories about about younger characters. I practically only write female protagonists, for reasons that have never been entirely clear to me.
Please don't judge me because I'm eleven. I'm female, from NYC. I write depressing historical fiction stories, often with a female tween first-person perspective. I just find that it's easier to write when I can more closely relate with my main character. I struggle with having TOO MUCH action instead of any fluff, because even though it's necessary to keep your reader captivated, it just feels horribly pointless. I play the piano, flute, and violin. I love drawing, too.
No judgement. I look forward to see your participation. Be not afraid to ask any question in any thread. Be not afraid to speak your mind. We will help you discover your writing. Welcome!
As a pseudo-old man, I envy your youth and untapped potential. Anyway, at least you got started fairly early and have time on your side. Much preferable to those unfortunates who suddenly decide to become authors in their twenties or thirties, and dive into it with no idea what they're in for. I'm... not sure I understand the problem.
I wrote the first line of my story at 53. I've since written more in the last three years than the first 50! I fell into it so deep, one is at 250k and then I started a second, it's at 150k! Who knew!
I kinda did. @Risa Just don't quit a bunch of times, and you probably won't be my sad emoji in twenty-something years.
Yes, there are depressive grown-ups here, too. We try to cleverly mask it with our boundless wit. Or was it witless bounty? I forgit.
I expect depression is not uncommon, here. A close friend of mine has a pet theory, that depression (qua disorder) is more common in those with high verbal intelligence. I don't doubt it.
Never really been depressed, I don't think. I have some trouble with anxiety and can suffer mood-swings when I'm not self-medicating with nicotine, but usually I'm a very positive fellow who tends to remain stubbornly hopeful things will work out alright. "Optimism through stalwart skepticism is a defect not everyone is lucky enough to be cursed with." -That great literary classic, Homestuck.
I must be the exception that proves the rule, then. I can barely string a sentence together, at least not verbally.
Actually, it apparently has more to do with creativity in general. There have been studies showing that artists and other creative people have an on average higher tendency for neuroticism than people who don't work in artistic fields. So, there appears to be some correlation between being creative and running the risk of developing mental health issues.
Hi I'm Hillary. I'm on the cusp of 27. Single. No kids. I have seen so many different intros I don't know what I should even include. Haha. I dabble in a variety of genres. I write young adult, contemporary, detective, romance, scifi, and poetry/song writing. I used to have a forum I did writing competitions and I loved it cause it pushed me to keep writing. It shut down so I've felt a little lost. I am very grateful to have found this community and am excited to participate and learn.
Well..I'm.. I am a teen who wishes to have had been born centuries ago. I write about the past, cause it's done already. I don't like the present and what I can't see (future). I write Historical Fiction and probably want to write something akin to Sherlock, but probably not in Baker Street, but maybe Beyoğlu, what do you think?
I looked it up. That's in Istanbul, isn't it? What a great idea. I have never been there, but there is such a history and mixing of people and ideologies in that place, I can only look forward to learning more about it. Do you live there yourself?
