Hello Everyone! My name is Frankie. This is all very new to me. I've never been a part of a forum before but I'm excited to gain the experience. I wanted to join because I'm hoping to have feedback from stories and poems I have written for my ultimate goal of being a published writer. I am currently a student and still learning but how can one gain experience without some constructive criticism? So here I am. I am currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo and am addicted to Podcasts. I'm juggling about 6 right now. My favorite genre is fantasy. I love nearly anything that Brandon Sanderson writes. My personal favorite being The Stormlight Archives. I also dabble in murder/mystery with author Sharon Bolton. She is amazing and I recommend her to any avid crime reader. A great book I've ready recently is The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. What a surprising and delightful read. I could not put that book down! I am working on my very first book and am excited to keep at it. Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk. :)

Nice to meet you, Frankie. Take the time to actually read the stickies linked above, then look around a while--or dive right in. You're among your own kind here, you know?

Maryn, vacuuming the welcome mat
