Hello and thank you for having me in this lovely forum! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
I'd like to say that I'm very happy to be here. I joined another writing forum recently (won't name it) and it's a bit like walking in the middle of the desert... 〝〇〟⊂(｀･Δ･´)⊃〝〇〟
Not many users there and very little recent work to read or comment.
Anyhow, I will introduce myself in a dignified manner. ⌒ﾟ(❀>◞౪◟<)ﾟ⌒
My name is Nadia and I was born and brought up in Italy. I've lived in Britain for five and a half years. I have learnt to appreciate Marmite and complain about the weather on a daily basis like a respectable citizen.
My reading background is a bit weird. I used to go to the library and choose a book without having an clue of what it was about, ending up reading "The lord of the flies" when I was fourteen by mistake. An unforgettable afternoon, that was.
Truth is that I like a good novel and genre doesn't really matter much to me. Don't get me wrong, there are themes that attract me such as fantasy settings and I have a weak spot for a good romance.
If a book is well written and the author knows how to grab you with their words, it is possible to read about a guy that slips on a banana peel and find the story interesting and compelling.
Fantasy, sci-fi, horror and romance are generally always present in my writing, one way or another.
I've been writing forever, though I started to do it in English only recently. Now, after four months, I've almost completed the draft of my first sci-fi novel (83K so far) in English and it's a pretty good feeling. ೭੧(❛▿❛✿)੭೨
I have never done Beta reading but I'd love to, I really want to communicate with other writers about everything and learn as much as I can. It's been pretty lonely in these months in my writing journey and I wish to find friendly advice here. I like to read what other people are writing a lot, so Beta reading is something that I want to do.
One more thing I'd like to add, if you could do me a favour and tell me when and if I write weird stuff. As English is not my first language I still make syntax mistakes and use weird expressions every so often.
I also struggle with commas at times. In Italian, commas are used more frequently and in a different way than in English so please feel free to point that out to me whenever necessary.
I also use British spelling in my writing rather than American.
Thank you very much indeed, ( ❝̆ ·̫̮ ❝̆ )✧

I'm just kidding, It's okay on wheat crackers. How would you describe the taste to people who haven't had it? Soy sauce boiled with salt into a thick paste? Have I sold anyone on it yet? haha.
