Okay, first I just want to express my appreciation for all the random Orlando Bloom references in the profile questionnaire. Because, well...Orlando Bloom, obviously.

Hi, call me J. I'm 21 and currently living in Seoul as a study abroad student. I completely consider myself an amateur writer, but I'm hoping that in the not-too-distant future I'll be able to get published. Not-too-distant future as in preferably before whenever I die...haha.

I'm currently working on a fantasy novel which has been about five years in the making. If I don't end up finishing it...well...that won't happen. I will finish it! *knock on wood*

I'm hoping to make some writing friends here, since in real life, none of my friends are into writing whatsoever. Seriously, they look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them I just spent 5 hours at a coffee shop typing *for fun*. ("It's not schoolwork?" they ask me, nostrils flared in repulsion.)

It's nice to meet you^^
반가워요^^ 우리 같이 열심히 써 봅시다~! 화이팅

Welcome. Your friends don't know what they're missing. Spending five straight hours typing up a story is the best.

My friends react that way, too. You're in good company here. And I have faith that you will finish your novel! Good luck, and remember, persistence is key!

Hey Saturn_J, welcome to AW. You're not alone. I can't remember the source of this quote, but it goes something like, "Before deciding that you're depressed, consider the possibility that everyone in close proximity to you is as asshole."

You don't sound at all depressed, but the nostril flaring disgust reminded me of that quote. Hope to hear more from you around the boards. Finish the novel.

And might I also add that while Orlando Bloom is the man, I also dig his wife. I feel like we could elect them our leaders, and then they'd politely refuse and continue being awesome.

So yes, Orlando Bloom.
