Hello world, Here I am to talk bit of myself. Actually, I haven't discovered. I am not a story teller or philosopher, neither I am writer. But yeah, I do write. No specific topic or no emphasized idea on what i would be writing all along but yes, I am going to write anyways. Writing got nothing to do with my profession. Let me take, writing and reading as my passion. I scribble whatever. My head is full of thoughts and my words are my thoughts. Welcome to myself and everyone out here. Lets write.
Hi @Breathing, and a warm welcome from me! Hmmm... Aha! So you are a writer... You see. Writer. QED. Writer
Living in Bhutan I imagine gives you a wealth of things to write that you probably don't realize the rest of us would very much like to read about. Welcome to the forums Breathing
Thank you @Steve Rivers , specifically I don't know what I should write about. Maybe, you can let me know what you want to hear about.
Hello and welcome, Breathing! Have a great time here.) Writing is a wonderful experience, it's nice to see people joining this journey.
Oh no, no, no! A writer should always write about what they want to write about. If you aren't sure what to write, you should just look at things that inspire you or you really like to read yourself.
Hello Breathing! I’m one of the forum moderators, and I want to welcome you to the forum. I don't know if we have other members from Bhutan ...we might. But you might also be the first. Who are you writing for? Are you writing for people within Bhutan? Or for a wider audience? Or both? Do you want to write fiction or nonfiction, or a mix of both? Or write fiction, but set it in a realistic Bhutan? Or create a world from your imagination? Or write a book that's set elsewhere in the world? As Steve Rivers said, just the idea of Bhutan is interesting to those of us who have never been there. If you want to write ABOUT your country or culture, I'm sure you'll have readers lining up to buy your stories. But do write what you want. The advice is often: write the book you would like to read yourself. I think that's a good bit of advice, and it's a bit of advice I did take for my own novel. Anyway.... In order to help you get oriented and get settled, here are a couple of links I strongly recommend that you read at the start, if you haven’t already. They will give you a good idea of how we operate here on the forum: New Member Quick Start Forum Rules You will notice in the New Member Quick Start that in order to post your work in the Workshop area—the only area of the forum where you are allowed to post your work and ask for feedback—you will need to do at least two critiques for other people, in exchange for receiving feedback on one of your own pieces of work. This site is designed around the concept of members helping each other out by ‘paying it forward’—through our two-for-one critique system. So do two critiques, THEN you can post something of your own. This advance 2:1 ratio lasts as long as your membership here—although it is your own responsibility to keep track of your own ratio. The software doesn't keep track of it for you, beyond your first two critiques. In order to help you get started doing critiques, here is a link to a good article written by one of our former moderators: https://www.writingforums.org/threads/constructive-critiques.20627/ One of the popular areas of our forum is our contest section. There is a monthly contest running for Short Stories, Flash Fiction and Poetry. You can enter these ongoing contests, even as a new member. And we really encourage you to visit the site, read the current entries, and vote for your favourite when the voting period starts. This means a lot to the people who have written these entries. And it will also give you a good idea of what our members are capable of writing. https://www.writingforums.org/writing-contests/ While the Role Playing Game section is not new, it’s being given a revamp. So if you are interested in playing and writing Role Playing Games, you might want to visit this section and get in on the fun. https://www.writingforums.org/threads/resurrecting-the-dead-rpg-section-rebuild.165055/ I hope you have fun getting to know us and let us get to know you, via the posts you make. Please feel free to explore the forum. There is a lot under the hood. This site map might help you find your way around more quickly than the menu bars do, so feel free to use it. https://www.writingforums.org/faq/ If you encounter any difficulties, don’t hesitate to contact me or one of the other moderators, whose names appear in yellow at the bottom of the Community page. We will be glad to help. Again, welcome! Cheers for now, Jan
