I just wanted to quickly introduce myself. I am a brand new member and I am currently developing a couple of writing projects. I am hoping to find some support and inspiration in this Forum. In particular I am interested in connecting with anyone who is writing in English and although fluent, where English is a second Language. I feel that sometimes I need reassurance over certain idioms, sentence structure etc. If anyone is in the same position please do get in touch
Welcome to the forum! What kind of stories are you planning to write? I'm an English as a Foreign Language speaker (EFL), but I prefer to write fiction in English. It's quite challenging, but practice makes perfect, I hope. Here's our New Member Quick Start to get you started. See you around! -Kat
Hi Kat thank you so much. I have been writing short stories, mainly contemporary romantic fiction. But I feel that sometimes my sentences feel a bit too forced or too much "translated" rather than natural (I hope it makes sense). At the same time I can't write anything at all in my own native language, which makes even less sense I know . Reading lots and, as you suggested, practice is helping though. See you! GabyH
