Hello, my screen name is almost always Woocipher and people usually call me Woo.
I am from greece and I am in my late twenties. When I was getting my degree my friends pitched in and got me creative writitng lessons as a gift and I have been in love with writing ever since. I feel like a late bloomer since I discovered writing when I was 22.

The genres I like are sci fi, mystery and comedy. Usually I try to combine them. My writing can be absurd at times so I'm trying to tone it down a bit.
I have read a few classics but my absolute favourites are by Charlaine Harris. I have loved everything I have read so far. Douglas Adams, Heinlein, Jon Ronson and Elia Kazan are writers whose writing style I admire.

I searched for a writer's community so that I could stay in touch with writing because otherwise life pulls in different directions.
Also english isn't my first language so please excuse any mistakes.

That's what I had to say about myself and I'm looking forward to spending time with y'all.

Hey Maryn nice to meet you too, thank you for the snacks :p friendos are excellent they push me to become a famous writer so I can pay for their vacation.

I have been looking around and this community is even better than I originally thought. I'm excited to be here.

Welcome, Woocipher. Discovering writing at 22 makes you an early bloomer! Many of us didn't get into it until we were in our thirties or forties. ;)
