  Welcome to the group Nathan, it's always good to welcome new members here, especially ones who will share their pieces with us. I love to read the work of others as much as I love to write, We all look forward to reading whatever you are inspired to write.

  Welcome to our newest member, Lynette, as you can see there are all sorts of writers and writing here. No matter why you write or what you write, we all love to read, and everything we read informs what we write. Experiences can be shared, emotions can be felt and ideas conveyed, all through assembling a few words. We await to learn more about you and read something from you.

  My two favourite authors are Virginia Andrews and Karen Kingsbury. I am in love with Christian fiction and my dream is to write a book.

    Have you started that book yet Anne? Turn your dream into a reality, all it takes is a first line of text, like any journey starts with the first step. There is no excuse not to write a book these days, there are plenty of self publishing organizations on the internet, there is Amazon, if you want to make some money, ot there are free book sites if you want people to read what you have written. I encourage you to make a start.

    Anne, I just encourage you to keep going at it, having a couple of technical books published back in the seventies, I never seemed to find the time until I retired out to a Greek Island in 09. Then I started a novel, a fantasy fiction with a strong biblical end, which was published on a self-publish site and Amazon. It was not a best seller but more than six-thousand people read the book, which is the point, to get it read. That was followed up with a sequel in 2016, which has not done as well but the downloads are slowly climbing, about the period leading up to the rapture. These things take time, just pray for the inspiration.

  The members of the Writer's Pen would like to welcome you Anne, I notice you work in journalism so it would be interesting to read some examples of your writing and maybe some helpful tips for the rest of us. Above all enjoy the group and have fun.

    Thanks a lot. Unfortunately the articles that I write are in Afrikaans, my native language. However I do plan on writing in English as well. It's a privilege to join the group.

  Welcome to the Writer's Pen group Bernard, the group seeks to be a safe place to publish member's writing, on almost any subject, fiction, reminiscences, poetry, anything. We also seek to support each other in our writing and word-skills, and encourage each other. I will look forward to reading anything you choose to post. Bless you for your interest.
