[Elspeth]

Ok so hi feels weird being the first post of a group.

Any way my name is Elspeth Grace Hall I am a poet and a Children's Author, I have been trying for some time to branch out into adult short stories but am worried that I'm being rejected because my material is a lot more gnarly than is normally seen in short story mags.
I was hoping if you guys wouldn't mind if i might post a few samples on here and get some feedback. I will of course be happy to reciprocate.

Of course you can post it in here. It would be a pleasure to read your material. I thought that my group is not activated cause I've tried to look for it on goodreads and it didn't show.
I'm also a poet and try to work on my first sci-fi novel.

Hi Gemma thanks will get it up shortly . In answer to the question you sent on the friends request. (i couldnt work out how to reply) I lost my hearing in a car accident . Normally in a car crash your head gets thrown forward and you get whip-lash but we were hit side on and my door was slammed against the bridge upright pretty hard so I got whipped side to side, the audiologist thinks I ended up with fractures to the bones in my inner ear as my ear drum is fine but the three tiny bones in there wont conduct sound. It sounds unlucky but I'm thankful If we hadn't got wedged against the upright we would have plummeted into the river I'd rather be Deaf than Dead. :)

Sorry to hear that.
I started this group cause I miss my literary circle from my country so I wanted to give a try on goodreads.

I see your profile says romania when you say my country are you from romania living elsewhere or have you moved to romania? I've not been on goodreads long but if it is anything like the literary circle we had at the Open University then you should enjoy it. :)

I'm from Romania but now I live in Nottingham.
