Hello, I'm a writer from and in Libya. I loved writing ever since I could read. I joined this forum so I can, like many others, improve on the craft. As far as writing goes, I 've always focused on fantasy or sci-fi writing, although the best things I think I've written are modern, and I think it has to do with a world-building and setting issue. I consider myself a pretty good writer when I apply, and edit, but still see A LOT of room for improvement. My favourite book would have to be Hyperion. I consider it a masterpiece, however I thought the sequel really marred the build up. It was beautiful, nonetheless. On other things, I don't consider myself a nihilist, or a misanthrope. I love all things human and I believe life has a purpose that you define. I also love all things nature, and just, complexity. In that sense, I love everything, and can find wonder in anything. My greatest loves, next to humanity and everything, would be politics, language and writing. With all that out, I look forward to posting here.
Writing is something fundamentally human. Some people use their writing to explore the heights of humanity, others like to dive into the abysses. You'll find both kinds here. Welcome and have fun
