I understand that some people have joined this board because they are readers, some because they are writers. Most people are probably a little bit of both.
I myself is of the latter. I like to write stories, but sometimes I lack inspiration and I read more than I write. I only joined recently and I have posted a few stories that I've written before I joined. And I've also written a couple of stories after I joined just because this board has given me the inspiration.
I joined in the hope of getting inspiration from the stories I read here. I am of course looking for the pearls of this board, and eventually I am sure I will find some of them. I also joined in hope of getting advice, feedback and maybe get in touch with other writers that share the same interests as I do.
So I'm a writer and I'm a reader. Which are you?
