Sarah (sarahsweetz25) | 4 comments Hi everyone,

I' m Sweetly ( pen name - Sarah) from India. I am an entrepreneur by passion in Medical Field - UK based for the past 12 years and by profession I am a teacher. I am an avid reader of books.

I am basically here as a flashlight to help my best pal. Also I am here to learn a lot from all established authors and their esteemed works.

I do plan to eventually come out with a self-published book in Children's Literature in November of 2018 and an enchanting and thought-provoking script that has the potential to be made into a movie. I enjoy gardening and I am currently pursuing a new hobby knitting.

Looking forward for help and guidance.

:-)

4. The inside of my head is such a wonderland that I'm incapable of getting bored. When my environment isn't sufficiently stimulating (or when I'm concentrating on something mindless), my brain starts making up conversations/lyrics/stories that I mutter to myself unconsciously. When I notice, it's always in the middle of something truly absurd and entertaining.

message 873: by Cece (new)

Cece Whittaker | 37 comments Hello! My name is Cece Whittaker. I write both romance within the clean and wholesome category, and children's stories. My recent book, which has no link because I cannot figure out how to get it on Goodreads, is The Call to Serve. As much as I want to be just a writer, I find that unless I have something else pulling me away from it like earning a living, I can't focus on writing, which works out well because I haven't become writer self-supportive yet!

When I found that the physical attention wasn't something I actually wanted, I naturally fell back on writing, which was something I have been doing my entire life; and I am more than grateful for my choice. It feels like home.

message 883: by J.E. (new)

J.E. Klimov | 2 comments Hi everyone! Excited to be here :)

1. I'm JE Klimov. You're welcome to call me Julian if that's easier.

2. As far as reading goes, I like to cross multiple genres: I'm most comfortable with fantasy, but I do love a well written mystery, thriller, and mainstream. So far, I've written in the fantasy realm, but once I fully establish my author platform, I may venture to sci-fi, thriller/spy, and mainstream (I have a few satires and comedies in my back pocket)

3. My most recent book is my debut novel, "The Aeonians". It's a YA/NA fantasy. It's great for the typical fantasy lover, someone who doesn't usually read fantasy but wants to give the genre a try, and any Zelda fan.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

4. Interesting fact? Not sure if I have one. But I'm a pharmacist, runner, Red-Bull lover, cat enthusiast, and a lover of all things random.

Thanks again! Hi all!

Hi Yashima,
I wondered if anyone else was novelist and code writer! I'm not very advanced in my code writing yet, but I really like the idea of knowing another language, which is probably what writing is all about anyway. I look forward to reading your posts. Cece
