Hello my name is Kimberly and unfortunately I have not written anything as of yet but is eager to learn the skills on how to become a successful writer for scripts. I will love to write about romance or even comedy. Anything that is realistic and funny.
Hi, Used to write purely sci fi (urban and space opera) and fantasy (epic and urban) but have branched out into detective / mystery this last year. Don't know why but it's fun! Cheers, Greg.
Hi to each individual who posts on this beautiful forum and also hi to those who moderate it. I have published three e-books on Amazon. One is a self help book for people in the mental health community. The other is a novel for teenagers to increase their confidence. The last book is a spiritual book about my interpretation of the message of Jesus. I wrote these books during the pandemic because I was always dreaming about them. I couldn't sleep... Now that I have written them I can finally get some rest. I know many of you also have had such a experience where the universe downloads a story and characters into your dreams. It is an honour to be part of a forum of wonderful writers such as yourselves and I hope to post whenever there is time. Becoming an author was my dream ever since high-school... I know each one of you who post on this wonderful forum love writing just as much as I do. Wish each of you success with your writing and book projects. Have a blessed weekend. Sincerely, Abbey
I am a filmmaker who writes screenplays, several which have placed in competitions. I write short stories more as a pastime. Though it's becoming a fairly serious past time. I write erotica. That's mainly what I am posting here. It is rather straight-male centric erotica, but I have found that certain women get something out of it as well. And certain men hate it. I suppose it depends on what kind of person you are. It might be for a niche audience. Influences: Hemingway, Flannery O'Connor, Raymond Chandler, Thomas Mann, Chekhov, Gogol, Raymond Carver. Peeps like that.
Sorry to hear it. Maybe you can find work as a plumber or something? Or was that just a very unfortunate typo, making it sound like your script-scribbling has moved from present to past tense? It's the absolute worst kind of typo, that actually makes it mean the exact opposite of what you were trying to say. As a writer, ya gotta be really careful about that kinda stuff...
I'm a 39M, disabled, who writes mostly fan fiction, although I use largely my own cast of characters and plot lines. My favorite subjects are the GTA universe of which I have two stories written starring my own original protagonist, military techno-thrillers like Tom Clancy stuff, and post-apocalyptic.
I am a 36 year old male from the Northeastern United States. I mostly write about anxiety/mental illness. Unfortunately, I am not skilled enough to write outside of my comfort zone just yet.
54 year old man, had local success years ago, and recently decided to return, focusing more toward horror, science fiction, and fantasy/supernatural.
Glances at upper left (if you're reading this) hand side of the screen, sees name tag...(Who are you?) Words in a linear, semi-coherent format and sarcastic rejoinders. (What do you write?)
If in reference to my response, it is fairly simple to break down, as I began writing early, and left the field after local success. Being raised in the Coalfields in the 1980's had very few connections to the outside world, since the internet was not available, magazines and publishers could take months to reply. I left the dream of becoming a successful writer, and only recently decided to return in any serious capacity. As for what I write, I like science fiction, and choose to write horror with the inclusion of ancient beasts, gods in a modern setting. When properly done, this way of writing often means more research, but also creates a story that can entertain, or captivate readers. It can require a greater level of creativity, and more enjoyable, for myself.
Hello! I am 39, female from the UK, married, two kids. Past career in journalism, now working and lecturing in business and marketing. I am going to try and tip the balance from horror and fantasy because I write observational humour/drama! If anyone else falls into this genre please let me know! I am looking to buddy up with writers of a similar style.
Hey, I didn’t know we were listing those as part of our introductions! Influences (I’m a poet): Robert Frost, William Wordsworth, Georges Brassens, Susan Jarvis Bryant, Brian Yapko. Plus, more generally, folk songs, hymns, and classic poetry in English and French.
I'm a former telecommunications engineer, turned white goods engineer, turned electrician, turned marine electrician, turned skipper. 'S'nough about me! I write Urban fantasy. Now, as I see it, urban fantasy is setting something that is unlikely, perhaps improbable, into a regular setting that is known. For instance... A guy goes through regular schooling, grows up in a city, has normal friends etc etc. Hasn't got a mum he has ever known, and his father dies under mysterious circumstances when he is 14. He drowns three times in his lifetime. Knows there is something about his parentage that is hidden and goes in search of that... Add a mermaid or two, a gateway to a parallel world. Et voila... Urban fantasy. I might write flash-fiction and poetry too.
Retired manufacturing engineer with sidesteps into architecture/construction and three wonderful yet traumatic years teaching vocational education. I aspire to write like Vonnegut. Lately been focusing on non-fiction science literacy focused essays. Much of that is teaching myself videography and finding work arounds to the limitations of cell phone cameras. I have a Youtube channel. Two novels unfinished. One is a coming of age tale based on an incident in my youth, the other a historical piece that spans the holocaust, the troubles in northern Ireland, and latin immigration on the southern U.S. border in the '60s. Besides Vonnegut, Heinlein Clarke and Asimov, Steinbeck, Ursula Le Guin, Clancy, Sinclair Lewis, and others. My style is straightforward narrative.
I am a human. Right now, my preferred genre is romance, fantasy, and spirituality (but not the religious type).
