Writing in your Heart discussion

Tell us a bit about yourself - like why you wanted to join - your main interests in reading and writing and so on. Have fun!

Hello everybody!!!

My name's Alexa and I absolutely adore writing and reading.

I love music (MJ & Nirvana), photography, reading & writing, flim, manga & anime (sailor moon and one piece), and other stuff I really can't rememember ;)

My favorite color(s) are red, white, and black. More black and red.

I wanted to join because I simply love writing.

And I think that's it!!

My name is Lee (female) and I LOVE to read but a part of me likes to write. Mostly about emotion, philosophy, bibliography, and my past experiences of living. And adding a bit of depression.

Hello,

My name is melissa, I am from Vancouver Canada.

I love reading, photography, and spending time with my dogs.

I would love to travel, but i am afraid of flying.

I joined because I was invited and it seemed like a good group.

Hello,
My name is Carey, I wanted to join after I received an invitation as well.

I like to read, because books and stories show you a different point of view on life. Whether they're saying hold on someday your happiness is coming, to the, staying true to who you are pays off in the story of you in the end.

I like to write as an outlet for the craziness in my life. As I battle with the things that plague my life daily, the wonderful illusion of control that my stories provide keep me sane. My day to day life these days have become too much to handle. My stories provide me with a WONDERFUL escape in a place very similar to my own.

I agree with you Carey, the battle of life can be so difficult. But writing helps. Others may think we are dark but their is darkness in this day of times.

So true!

Hi. I'm Fysa. I love reading anything basically. I love music and movies and critical discussions about a lot of things. Because of my love for reading since I was little, I have always been interested in writing. But I'm also Passive-Aggressive

And I tend to write how I'm feeling instead of saying it out loud. Joined because I was invited and this seems like fun. Nice to meet you guys!

I am glad to see many have you joined because it seems like a fun group, or you were invited, either way I hope we can all have fun and if you have any questions just ask me or Sarah.

hello Blood Blader here, i don't remember who sent me the invite but thanks

Hello everyone,

I am from the SF BAy Area and I love to read, review and write as well. I also like to sew and make scrapbooks. I am in the middle of writing two books currently. They are about 1/3 to 1/2 finished. I have no idea what I am doing really. I just started writing one day and haven't been able to really stop since. I joined this group because I was invited and it fits my interests.

Hi, my name is Carole and I started writing about two years ago. I also manage both my son's and my publicity for our books. I love challenges, and I enjoyed the energy it took to learn a whole new business. I have met wonderful people doing this and was delighted to be asked to join this group. I work full time in a family business,(unrelated to our writing) and love playing with my four grandchildren. I live on Long Island near my children.

@Nicole, if you have any input in the Publishing threads then please share it. Welcome all experiences from published authors, as well as input or questions from those not published.

Hi my name is Hailey, I am a huge book nerd and writing my first book while suffering from writer's block! Sorry if I am the last one here!

Hi I'm Ashleigh! I joined because i was told about this group! I joined because I love to write and I really need help editing my stories that i am currently working on!

Hailey wrote: "Hi my name is Hailey, I am a huge book nerd and writing my first book while suffering from writer's block! Sorry if I am the last one here!"

Hi Hailey. Welcome to the group. I sympathize with you on the writer's block. I think we have some activities or ideas posted in folders to help with this. I find that hiking helps me the most. I look forward to interacting with you. :)

Ashleigh wrote: "Hi I'm Ashleigh! I joined because i was told about this group! I joined because I love to write and I really need help editing my stories that i am currently working on!"

Hi Ashleigh! Welcome. I hope this group helps you. And I'm sure you'll be very helpful in group as well. Looking forward to it. Thanks for joining.

Hi, my name is Camille. I have always loved books and read all the time. My tastes vary, but I mostly stick to mystery and romance.

My friends and family tell me I'm funny and should write a book. I would love to do that someday, but lack the time and confidence right now. For now, I blog when I can and love to get feedback and comments.

I posted links to both my blogs on the BLOG thread.

Welcome Camille! Time and confidence are the biggest obstacles for most. Don't give up on your dream though. Just try to write when you can. It's a good habit to try and write and read everyday. I know that's hard, but if you do then something will accumulate. I wrote all my life and didn't finish my first novel until I was 30.

Blog are a wonderful way to be creative! Did you know that 50 Shades of Grey started as a blog? So cool, huh? I'll check out your blog.

Hey even if you feel like you couldn't possibly write a book - just try it out. Try out different beginnings - two different sites that I recommend are wattpad and fictionpress. I am on both under wolfess21.

Hi, my name is Dominic, I just joined :)

Hi Dominic! Welcome to the group. Hope you enjoy the different threads and looking forward to reading the posts you share. :)

Hi everyone, my name is summer and I was invited. when I saw the group I immediately wanted to join. I really love reading because sometimes it just feels you're living a different life. I also love writing but unfortunately I don't think I'm much of a good one.

Welcome Summer. I'm looking forward to having your input in group. The first thing all people who want to write need to do is strike the sentence "I'm not much good at it" from their mind. Please recognize that you might need some practice, tips and education, but everyone can be a good writer. I was a horrible writer growing up, but I enjoyed it and that was the key that kept me coming back and improving. Hayley, the other mod, has some really great exercises and threads set up to encourage writing. (I mostly do the publishing piece here.) Please share and hopefully you'll find help and give your own input. That's really the best way to improve, with other writers. Anyway, I'm babbling. Welcome! :)

Hi My name is April, and I go by the author name April Sunflowers. I know its corny, but I don't want people to know my real name :P. I am writing a novel called Gorilla, and its about a stripper who falls in love with a client, and goes and sleeps with this client, and it goes from there. It's also about her family, and some financial issues around her job. It also goes by his POV, his name is Bruno. ((Like Bruno Mars, the singer, he also sings the song "Gorilla" and the book is based off the video "Gorilla" as well)) :) Isabella is the stripper and works at La Jungle. :) I am very interested in people reading my first three chapters I have already created in my mind, and I wrote down online already for people to see. Please take advantage of reading my first chapters on Booksiesilk.com or Writerscafe.org. :D Just search for April Sunflowers, or Irisballoon on those sites and it should pop up. Look for Gorilla, and the first three chapters should be there. :D <3 Have fun and please dont hesistate to friend me on here and message me! :D <3 God Bless!!

Hi April! Welcome to the group. I love corny, actually. Sounds like an interesting novel. Love all the details you put into it. And it's a great idea to get input on the beginning, since that's the most important part of any novel. I'm sure many of the lovely people in this group will give you fantastic input.

Hi everyone!

I'm new on Goodreads group although I've been using Goodreads for years, so here I am.

I go by the name Autumn Breeze here since that's my facebook's user name but on Wattpad I go by Hayleyautumns.

I love love love reading, drawing, doing some crafts and hanging out with friends. I like writing although I'm not very good at it, but I do blog and write in my free time hoping to improve >w<

About Wattpad...I've been reading on there for quite some time(still I prefer reading an actual book) and had only recently started writing on Wattpad. I have a few ongoing drafts but I just posted a story inspired by songs and I plan to write more songs for that book, so if you're free you can go check it out and give me some advice on how to make it better and thanks for your time if you do checked it out! :)

My Wattpad: https://www.wattpad.com/user/Hayleyau...

What else? I'm shy in front of strangers but can go really crazy and funny when I'm with my friends. I joined this group because I was hoping to get some advice on my writing and also to find other Wattpad users.

Hey there Autumn, sorry I haven't been active much, I've got school still and then writing. I hope you like the group so far and I hope you enjoy your time here! Oh and I'm on wattpad too, if you see a new follower by the name of 'wolfess21' then that's me.
