Greetings from Brazil
Hello everyone! Brazilian here!

I'm an avid reader, I read pretty much everything, however fantasy and sci-fi are the genres I really, really love.

I always liked writing. Always found easier to express myself writing. English is not my primary language, so excuse my flawed english. :P

So far I just wrote a few small stories and a fewer articles, but I decided to give a shot at a fantasy novel.

That said, I expect to learn a lot from you guys, and maybe have my work criticised someday. And why not help you too with your own writing?

I usually write in portuguese but I'll try hard to translate. Probably will need help with this too.

Well, that's it for now. Later!
