Spreadness Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) Hello everybody!my name is shay, 36yo, and I'm from Israel.been in love with fantasy for the past 26 years or so of my life (including playing D&D, game books, tons of rpgs, and growing up reading a lot of fantasy books, such as the dragon lance chronicles/legends, deathgate cycle, riftwar saga, WOT, to name just a few).Lately I've been readin sanderson's books (mistborn trilogy, and now I'm on book 2 of the stormlight archive). having lots of fun!writing is one of the biggest loves of my life, among dancing and photography. I've published a short horror stories book in hebrew (my second favorite genre), though it's been quite a while since I wrote the last of those creepy things . hopefully, I'm on the verge of getting back to writing, diving head first and deep into the art and doing what I was meant to do. watching brandon's interviews (and his youtube clip - "writing of epic proportions") gives me a lot of strength and motivation, and I also learn a lot from his podcast, writing excuses. thanks, brandon! <3 I'm attaching a tribute that I create a while ago, my version of a steel inquisitor (photographed, edited and modeled by myself - don't worry about my eyes, it's steel in great shape ).cheers,s.

Elbereth Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hello and welcome to the 17th Shard! I really like your picture. Have you done NaNoWriMo, then, if you're a writer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spreadness Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hello and welcome to the 17th Shard! I really like your picture. Have you done NaNoWriMo, then, if you're a writer? thank you! I refuse to refer to myself as a "writer" - that one needs to be earned. I am a man who loves to write stuff . that love was neglected for the sake of other passions I developed throughout the years .now I simply know that I'm in love with creating, whether its by dancing, by photography, or by writing (and the last one tingled lately in a way that couldn't be ignored). I never heard of NaNoWriMo up until a few weeks ago (Brandon was posting about it, and still updates with word count every day ). I figured out it's a big thing in the US! during that time I've been messing around with ideas, world-building and wrote a few scenes just as practice, to a total of about 25K words (but it doesn't counts as long as it's not an actual novel!). hopefully next year . I'm writing in my mother's tongue (hebrew) but do plan to translate when I'll have something tangible and worth-while. how is your NaNoWriMo going? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you don't want the title of writer, you could always say you're an "aspiring writer". And I definitely think you could do it next year. If you wan't, there's also a thing called Camp NaNoWriMo, which is a smaller version of the same event in a April and then June, usually. Though the months occasionally change. Basically, it's the same, but you can also set your own word count goal. It's very cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
