My turtle's name is Scarlet. She's a 10 year old Red-Eared Slider. I got her when I was 5, my mom and I went looking for a dog at our local animal shelter... And then we saw this itty-bitty turtle... I was like "Mom! They have a turtle!"... Turns out they were going to put her down because she has a defect called soft shell... So we brought her home. She's been with us for years now, and has had no problems with her shell or otherwise... :)
My cats are William and Rocky. Rocky is an orange tabby, and William is a black and silver Macon+tabby mix... William's like.... The size of our family sheltie named River XD Everyone thinks Rocky is a baby when they see him next to William, but Rocky is two years old and is standard sized XD
I also have three horses... I love them too. Though, in all, my family has 19 horses (counting my three)... XD

I have a goldfish and a striped fish (don’t remember name)."
Wow! Red eared sliders are one of the only turtles I can identify (also wood turtle). I know it because they are invasive to PA.


Thats a lot of animals! But, again, love the names, and the fact that you saved Scarlet from being put down.

1. I have written a Science Fiction novel, and my publisher suggested I come here to discuss writing with people, and maybe test out some of my content.
2. I have been programming computers for almost 50 years, and now I have a love/hate relationship with computers and technology.
3. I love to dance and go out dancing 2 - 3 times a week, or more: Blues Dance, West Coast Swing, East Coast Swing, etc.

I'm Diana, 32, Romanian currently living in Canada.
I'm probably the most extroverted and social person I know and simply love to be surrounded by people. It's all about giving and receiving: support & help, learnings & knowledge, and ultimately love & good vibes.
I teach yoga, speak 5 languages and... have a cat which is famous on Instagram :).
Nice to meet you, wonderful group of people!

I'm Diana, I'm 32 and currently live in Vancouver, Canada. I like to play tennis, I teach yoga and... my cat is famous on Instagram :).
I moved to Canada in 2013 and out of this experience, the hardest I've had, a book has "emerged". My wish is to make anyone's move to another country easier, faster, cheaper and more pleasant... unlike mine.
I appreciate you for being here, for reading and for being open to the world. I believe that by reading you become a better person and you contribute to a better world. Thank you for doing that :).
Much love,
Diana
Sorry, I've been gone for a while! XD
It is very nice to meet all of the new members, and I am glad that you partook in the icebreaker! I'm Panic, your crazy mod/ creator of TheWritingDesk, and I can only hope that you all enjoy the time you spend here. :)
Eric:
It is nice to have you, and I am sure that testing your content and improving your writing are all possible on TheWritingDesk! It is also very exciting that your publisher directed you to this group. :)
I know very little of technology and dancing, but one always has room for improvement and the opportunity to learn.
Diana:
I love cats! That was a bit side-tracked, but ah well... XD
It is nice to meet you! Canada sounds like an interesting place, and I am glad that it brought you into the world of writing!
Thank you for all of the appreciation! When I started this group, I never dreamed that it would grow to this volume, but, alas, it has. And I couldn't be more proud... XD
Salutations to all,
P!ATWD

I like writing fantasy stories and making video games for fun about those stories!!! I mostly have no idea what I'm doing most of the time but its fun and I'd love to swap work with other people and see what other people are writing :D :D
I also love to draw and have a cat!!
Hi, Nebel!
It's nice to meet you. ^-^
That is an interesting hobby. ^-^
It must be difficult to create an entire video game... ((I know zero of technology but, still, it sounds challenging... XD))
I'm P!ATD, one crazy mod, and I love to draw and have a cat too, so that's awesome to hear! XD
What's your cat's name?

And that is a very cute name. :)
My cat's name is William. I love him dearly. ^-^
