Hey,

so, now I'm here as well. It's starting to feel like a mission. Since I have been half-a**ing my writing, pardon the french, for the last year, I have finally decided to put some effort into actually improving, instead of just nurturing a serious case of graphomania.

Earlier this year I began a project, that started as something between a metaphor and a coded message, that not even my humble self could decipher and now has developed into a thing with it's own mind and my hands at it's disposal.

Aside from the above mentioned (it does occupy most of my conscious time, though lately dreams have appeared), I spend my time mostly listening to music (and getting inspired by it - there really is no way out, is there?), reading and clearing my mind playing dated video games.

Aside from that, there is actually not that much to tell, except maybe that here [where I live, not on the internet] is a disturbing lack of english creative writing workshops - which is the reason I am here.

but now enough about me before I get boring, in case I didn't...yet.

Are you really 99 years old?

Oh, whew. I was going to tell you that I wasn't sure that the Young Writers Society was the right place for you.

What do you write?

:D I joined for the same reason. And being 99 is fine, I've seen that somewhere else... :) But still, :D
Wow, I'm using a lot of smileys.
Anyway, welcome to YWS and feel free to PM me with questions, review requests,or just cause. :)

Yoda: Yeah, I can understand ... Though No limits for the young at heart:)

I write fiction, usually short stories, though there has been an idea or two, that is probably better suited for a novel. If I had to define my genre, I'd have to say it would be magical realism. I'm a fan of fantasy, no doubt about it, but in my works I don't like to exaggerate and overly empower my characters or the world. More like keep it on the edge of what's just weird and borderline impossible in the real world mixed with the usual deal :) A spark of the divine in the normal life ...

Though my current project strays from that a little.

How about you?

Velar: Thank you for the warm welcome, if I need something, I'll know whom to bother :)

Hai Sifdottir!

Your writing sound cool! Kind of like Tim Burton's thing, mixing the everyday with the crazy. Anyway, welcome and all that sauce! :D

I have to say, you're echoing some of my own feelings: I've been halfassing writing and I know I should apply myself to that.
And I think I know exactly what you mean when you say: "Earlier this year I began a project, that started as something between a metaphor and a coded message, that not even my humble self could decipher and now has developed into a thing with it's own mind and my hands at it's disposal." I have a collection of, I guess you could call them literary sneezes, that have more or less evolved into something of their own. An infection I guess...

Either way, looking forward to see what you put out
