How many of you are writers?

Post by Better Fiction »

Though this is mainly a reading forum, I do notice the occasional writer. How many of us are writers? What do you write and have you been published?

Hey, I have written some short stories as well as some poems too. My poems are related to love & nature. My short stories really express the culture and the habits of Florida Gulf Coast people, When I was in my vacation over there, I had written many short stories based on that environment, :)

I write whatever comes to my mind. But just very recently I've decided that I want to get serious about my writing. I think I might want to become a freelance author. Just as a side thing though. I don't think I would do it for a career.

Many writers define kiss as a love, but in philosophical sense, it is a deep affection of heart and it exposed and chracterised through lips, intentionally it having so many names, whatever, it is a kiss having same status as a deep affection of heart." specialise...........

I use to write as a hobby when I was a teen. I loved it. It was my passion.

Somehow, I've lost that.

Trying to get it back. I'm writing more and more lately. I'd like to get published. We'll see.

Hi I am new here so wanted to pop in and say hello.

I have been exploring writing for many years and at last managed to complete a short story. This one I self published because it is packed with photos.
To be honest I am working on a harder more serious book and needed to break away and write something lighter.

I am happy I found this forum, love reading!

I've been writing since I was little. I've published short stories, completed a novel, and I'm currently working on another novel. I'm also the editor for an online literary magazine. I've written a couple of articles, but I don't do that too often. Mostly when I write, I write fiction.

Writing, is expression but it is also so much more.

reading some of what is here, I can see that there are some that write for pleasure, some that write for therapy and even some that write for just themselves.

I have been published in various newspapers, magazines, books, all off line.

Then there are many online sources, but I dont really count those, I count only those that can be actually credited.

Writing can be easy it can also be a frustrating experience, the old cliche about a writer and an editor getting into a huff over something that the editor has scraped out of a book or article can be a seriously intense thing.

I remember in college threatening an editor of the local college newspaper over a hack job in editing that slanted the article to a different viewpoint than what was intended.

I was angry enough to do something crazy...

However all of that is just a small part of what it is really like...[/i]
