Hi people!
My name's Sofia. I'm an Italian 16-year-old and I found this website while looking for a place where I could share opinions and tips with other writers - there aren't many sites like this one in Italian, so here I am :3
(I'm also very sorry about any mistake I could make - and I probably already have made - but my English still needs a bit of improvement).
Soooo, about me: I live in a little town near Bologna, which is in the Northern Italy, with my mother, her partner, three cats and two dogs. Also, I have a little sister and a half-brother, but my cat is much more important.
I really, really love tea, and I own way too many books, even if I, for my part, think there's no such thing as too many books. (My mother disagrees with me on this point).
I'm a bit shy - I have a few good friends and an amazing girlfriend because I'm a lucky girl, but I usually am not what you'd call an extrovert at all.
I mostly write short stories and I have a complicated relationship with contests, because I've got problems with anything that exceeds 10 000 words of length and with any kind of deadline - yes, I'm the kind of terrible writer who will probably never write a novel because of her fear for commitment. But as they say, hope dies last.
Whenever I can, I like to go back to the good old pen (pencil) and paper, but my laptop is the keeper of every final draft because I hate editing with a rubber.
And that's about it :3

I really hope this is understandable,
Soq

Hello, and welcome to YWS! It's great to have you here! And may I just say that your English is absolutely splendid? :D Also, tea is great. What sort of genres do you like to write?

Thanks so much! I write mostly romance, and I'm fascinated by fantasy, even if I still haven't worked up the courage to actually write something :3 What about you? :)

That's beautiful! I love reading poetry, but I'm personally pretty useless at writing it :P

Hey!
@Pompadour, hi! Thank you very much and yes, I really love Gaiman. I'm especially fond of his short stories and Fragile Things is my favourite collection, so here explained the quote :3
@Moonwatcher, @AshleyDashley, thank you! :)
