Hi all, WriterGirl here, otherwise known as Jade! I'm an Inklings admin, as you know, and I write novels in the sic-fi/fantasy genres. So far I've had no publications, but I have two short stories under consideration, a completed first novel, and am working on my second novel in between work and uni  |

Hi all, introduce yourself here either by your real name or preferred published name. I'm NatlockHolmes. My real name is Nat, which is short for Natalie Elizabeth Harman, and my non-preferred published name is Natalie Harman. I recently completed a BA at USC; I'll be graduating on October 2, 2014. My majors were creative writing and English. - ‘Bower’ in Showcase.
- ‘Fold’ in in.tense.
- ‘Dustflakes’ in Writing from Below.
- ‘Take me swimming’ in Ricochet Magazine.
- ‘All Talk and No Trousers’ in Social Alternatives. (Pending.)
For writing: someone once told me one of the things they like the most about my stories are their variety. For reading: the classics, post-modernism, minimalism, erotica ... not to be a pretentious fart, but I don't see genre; if it grabs me, I'll read it, if it doesn't I eventually won't. Short fiction. I lack the patience to write a novel (and sometimes even to read them). Both.  ~ Nat. |

Hi everyone, I'm Hayley. I haven't got a specific genre that I like to write, I am still discovering what that might be. I'm in my second year doing a Bachelor in Creative Writing and love it. My aim is to write a novel that people actually enjoy reading . |

test,
one, two...one two, testing testing...pah..pah...kah...kah...test ing...ting...ting...one, two...one twwoo
Phew, just checking.
I'm David Blake
or Davey B
or Hey you're that annoying guy that asks a lot of questions...are you mature age by any chance?
I'm also not present this semester on account of taking a secondment for something that is not even my program...
I like lots of stuff. There is an even to good chance I even like you!
I've been published-
The Promotion - Kaleidoscope/Collideoscope 2013
yet to be published-
A Story in Completion - Anthology 2014
My Bachelor and Program are unknown to all - including myself. I think it has something to do with enjoying learning what I am good at in order to learn what it is I enjoy in order to do well at something in my life that has actual marks and not just a TAFE based pass or fail.
I am an audio technician and often get lost in complex conversations about many many things I won't bore you with now...(just deleted 3 paragraphs I sh1t you not)
I plan everything until the last few hours then usually throw it all out and start over.
Also, I will help with anything anytime which is probably why I am so poor.
hope any/all/some of this made sense
peace

Greetings Inkies!
Not a huge bookface fan so I'm happy to see this site up
I'm trace, and pretty much everyone calls me trace. I'd be published as trace if I could! (be trace that is, not get published).
well, I'm at the pointy end of a Bachelor of 2500w short stories, with a major in critical reflections, some history & language rounding things out. I write first, then if it fits into somebody's genre box then that's okay, but I don't think about it too much. That said, I'm interested in exploring the silent/reticent protagonist, heroes who are a shade damaged, rhyme & alliteration, and just plain nonsense! oh, yeah.. I make up words (and use them) and I still like to write with a pen.
hmmm... publications & stuff... I'm just realising that my little list of achievements is growing!
Things I'm proud of:
1. Publications
- Blackbird - Showcase, Issue 5
- Hard Case - Showcase, Issue 4
- Firestick - Kaleidoscope, 2013
- Mercury Lane - In.tense, 2012
- Rellik - Perilous Adventures Short Story Comp 2012 (winner)
- The Browns - USC Anthology 2014 [pending]
- Warheart - USC Anthology 2014 [pending]
2. Other stuff
- Sprocket - Sunshine Coast Spoken Word inaugural Poetry Slam 2014 (winner) what fun!
- FLASHjack - ScriberSpace [defunct] 99 Word Flash Fiction Comp (winner) Naomi presented me with a book in front of the whole lecture theatre... I was terrified.
I too am keen to join in any slam activities, work/uni schedule permitting. So, that's about the longest post I've ever written... but you did ask!
hooroo, trace

Herro My name is Sarah, and I'm a new and shy writer (i.e. I don't show anyone anything I've done unless it's for assessment - even posting on here make's me want to pull my head in back into my shell). I'm doing a Bachelor of Communications majoring in PR, minoring in CW. I love to write, but I'm not an avid writer, so I'm out of the loop when it comes to publishing and pursuing it as a career. Sheesh, I don't have much to contribute do I? Anyway, I like short stories and novel writing, anything dark and thought-provoking, definitely a pantser, and I love to travel. Also if you want to talk to me about food, oh my gawwwwd I love food, definitely up for that. |

... I'm a new and shy writer... ... I don't have much to contribute do I?... ... Also if you want to talk to me about food, oh my gawwwwd I love food, definitely up for that... Hi Sarah, Whether or not you share, I'm sure there's plenty you can contribute You don't have to be published to call yourself a writer, and maybe we can help you peep out of your shell a little more often? And... I'm with you on the food thing |

Also if you want to talk to me about food, oh my gawwwwd I love food, definitely up for that. 1, I like you, and 2, you've contributed plenty already. I've been published several times, and I still get nervous sending stuff out, showing people my stuff, or when they read my stuff and tell me (gasp) I get all tic-y (at the same time, though, I crave affirmation and like talking about my ideas, etc... go figure). I have two drafts on the go at the moment and every time I've went to show someone this week or even just tell them I'm working on them I chicken out, and I shouldn't because I'm a bit stuck and talking helps with that. I get that feeling about posting too. I'm shy/quiet... but when I care or don't have too much on my mind, I talk. I'm so-so about food, but I'm all for passion. |

shy often comes with the territory (my marathon post, way outa character for me.. hey, Nat?) and to love writing is enough, everything else is a choice.
"dark and thought-provoking", a pantser, travel, a foodie AND saying gawwwwd... welcome friend!
