1/50!
Hello everyone!

I just discovered this forum earlier today. I don't tend to sign up unless I really want to post something and this time it was the case. I was looking for informations about "how far can a human travel by foot in one day" and I just happened to find this place. And it seems awesome.

I'm a 24-year-old Finnish girl. I've been living in France for a little over five years now. I began to write stories when I was still fairly young, about 10-11 years old. Of course the language was childish and the stories were way over the top, but I used to be quite imaginative. I still like most of the names I made up during those years, for example.

I lost the passion for writing for quite a few years, however. I only picked it up again in 2010 and decided to give it a go in English, which is by no means my native tongue. It's hard, and it will remain so, but at least I've found "my language" for writing. I don't write regularly, and I doubt I'll ever publish anything, but at least it is a dear hobby. I even like my story!

Anyway, thank you, all the people who have started up this place (and keep it going). Looking forward to dig deep in here!

Cool
Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the 'forum jump' you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. After you post 50 posts you can use the SYW areas to get help there. The password for some of the areas is…..vista. A word to the wise, it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Hi!

So you're kind of like Joseph Conrad in that English was not his native tongue either!

Well, English is also my second language, but that was only because my parents are US immigrants from Estonia. I've had some Finnish friends and understand about half the Finnish, even though my Estonian is not the best. (And you should recognize that in the user name, which is actually two words. You may be one of the few to recognize the words.)

Welcome.
