Thanks for stopping by. I am Chris and I write, amongst other things. It frustrates me that amongst has a squiggly red line below it, it is a real word dammit! I am 24 and I am writing a novel, bit by bit. I have been doing so for the last few years but im getting towards the pointy end so I thought "hey, lets be pragmatic and join a forum!". This is very out of character for me so I hope I stick around for a while. The vast majority of my writing takes rather abstract form, written in my daily lunch break at work. It is generally very short and is heavily dictated by the mood I find myself in on that day. I (plan to) post these snippets on my blog, and I will not include a link to it for fear of being "that guy". I am quite intimidated by the number of posters here; I have always thought of writing as somewhat niche in this day and age, but apparently not. I like to write about myself and my emotions, but find the thought of someone else reading my stuff scary. Why this is I am not sure. I am Australian and I love music. I also like to read, assuming the content is interesting. So thank you for reading, and a preemptive thank you for your warm welcome!
Welcome to the forum, Chris, I'm sure you'll fit right in. Here's our New Member Quick Start Guide to get you started. Maybe you took a look at it already, since you don't want to be "that guy" (), so thanks for that. In any case, we have a workshop, contests, and role play, among other things. to keep writers inspired. Have fun! -Kat
