Hey all! I'm new here -- been writing fairly seriously for about a decade and been wading slowly into the publishing world more recently. Would love to get to know any other writers hanging out around here -- what do you write and what are you working on?

I write a lot of fantasy/speculative, though I also do some short work in the space of memoir and CNF. Currently working on a novel about a girl whose voice is death.

Anyway, introduce yourselves! I'd love to see any stories you might be up for sharing!

I'm a reader who likes to write for myself occasionally. Never finished a big project but I've written a few short stories I'm proud of.

Currently writing a story about a chess player struggling to make money off of chess and unable to find a job that would allow him to play semi professionally on the side either.

Ps. Heres a line I wrote that i'm proud of; "Grief whispers in the wind, a haunting melody of what once was and what will never be again."

Ooh, that story sounds devestating -- in a good way. Great line as well. The struggle to balance passion and survival is really prevalent these days (thanks capitalism!). Best of luck with it.

Thank you!

Ps. What do you mean the characters voice is death? That sounds fascinating
