    Alright dude how's it going?! I'm a 29 year old guy and i write fantasy/historical fiction. Most of my inspiration comes from the great fantasy and science fiction we grew up with. LOTR, STAR WARS and things like that with a load of History thrown in there. Mostly stuff taken from the Roman and British empire along with the great historical warriors from years ago. The ancient Greeks and Achilles or the Samurai in the East. And i try and right from all angles. Men, women, children, good and evil. I try and get everyone's view across as the main thesis that my stories boil down to are the constant energy of good and evil, light and dark that has been the centre of so many great stories in the past. I believe that's the basis of life for us regardless of what religion you follow or where you put your faith. But that's just my view on things.

    Any way that's me, nice chatting and hopefully you'll see some of my stuff on here, if and when i ever get over myself. :D !

    Hello, I just joined several days ago. My name is Eleina. I wanted to briefly introduce myself. I went to a vocational high school in Boston where I dabbled in film. I've always had a very vivid imagination from a very young age. I'd always draw out my ideas as cartoons and anime growing up and even briefly thought about getting into the comics industry by drawing out all my ideas into stories. It wasn't until high school that I decided that I wanted to experiment with writing screenplays for my wild imaginative stories and joined my schools film program. I've come to very much enjoy the art of writing and use my old drawing talents to even make fun storyboards. I wanted to join up with a fun writing community that can help me grow more as a writer and to help others however I can, though I feel like I still have a long way to go

    I'm glad to be here:)

    Hi Yurii!
    Nice to meet you. I have a university friend from Lviv, a very nice and kind guy. I remember how we worked with him at EduBirdie and how cool it was.
    Tell me, in your book about the meaning of life, are you trying to help everyone discover their own meaning? did I understand you correctly?

    Hello everyone! I'm a 30-something who has recently moved to Paris for the art, culture and foodie scene.

    I've been writing since I was a teen, but I've finally amassed enough life experience and maturity to take my writing to the next (professional?) level. I'm working on a thriller short story and it gives me a lot of joy (and sometimes angst) to work on this pet project. :)

    Nice to meet y'all!

    Hi, my name is Divine Walker and I am a writer who was born in a bustling city. In the day, I works as an IT specialist in a multinational company. It was an accidental discovery that I begin to realize that writing was my passion all along. I'm best known for writing fiction of the romance and fantasy genre.

    I had always been a fan of the romance & fantasy genre. I undertook the writing of this book so that I could share his story and experience to the world, whilst hoping that it could help and change someone’s life. I have written a novel and is developing numerous projects, including a few book series.

    I writes to share the stories with what it has to offer to the world. I'm hoping that it will engrave deeply into the reader's heart, floods with waves of emotions and heartfelt moments. The reader could incorporate the stories into their life, helping them to get through any obstacles in life.
