I'm new here. I've been a registered member for a long time, but never made the time to join any groups or say anything. A few days ago I figured that if I want to be serious about writing this is where I start.  So hello everyone. Hope to talk to alot of people and learn more about writing.

hey, spiritman.  welcome to the cult !  often dubbed a writer's cult. 

 

alot is actually "a lot"

other than that.. i dont capitalize on the forums....

 

 

there is ample booktalk and writing jabber around this domain.  feel free to get involved and banter.  reinvigorate the many dead threads in the selfside and chuckside forums, or just read them.  then get to the essays on the craft provided here by chuck, and there are many interviews and essays by authors on here too.  also, to mention, one of chris baer's first short stories is wedged into this place for free to all users.  really, spend time exploring and learning.  ask questions and play and learn.  a few things that i enjoy doing here.

Hi,

 

I'm new and would like to say hello. I'm probably in the wrong time zone, but who cares?

I have loads to say, but now I'm typing it's all rushed out of my head and gone to the shops.
I'll let you know when (if?) they come back.

and for off the centre, read the chris baer story there.  dude can fucking write.

 

also, spend time in the chat when people are there.  a good way to get to know people and learn about the place.

Hey, another new person here. *waves*

I'm Dan, 21, from England. Can't believe it's taken me so long to sign up for this site, as i've been a massive fan of Chuck's work for probably 4 years now...

I love reading, writing and drinking - would love to do any/all of the above for a living. Got a degree from Oxford but hated the place. And the letter 'u' key on this laptop keeps falling off... but otherwise it's a great day!

NIcely done, by the way.  No small feat considering the size of their navy.   It's time I say this: Country of Ireland, Mark congratulates you.

By the by, Derek, how far is Tuam from Dublin?  I may or may not be studying in Ireland next summer.

Irelands tiny, Tuam is on the west coast and Dublin on the East coast but still it takes less than 3 hours to get there by a bus or train. Im in Dublin about once every 3 months or if you want to visit Tuam you have a place to stay.

Hi all.

New to this site. I joined it today since I'd never really heard of this site before. I'm from the Philippines and am turning 16 in September. So I discovered Palahniuk last summer when I read both 'Fight Club' and 'Invisible Monsters'. When read so closely to each other it gave me cranial panic attacks. I've actually only finished three books so far, the third being 'Lullaby' two months ago. I had a failed attempt at reading 'Choke' because life fails, but I'm gonna try and have another shot at that later on. I'm reading a Haruki Murakami book right now called 'Norwegian Wood', then I'm gonna tackle 'Snuff', whether or not people approve of a 16-year-old girl from a conservative Catholic family reading it. This is why I keep all my CP books stowed away in a secret compartment in my room, as if they all read the inscription, "Keep out of reach of anal Catholic parents."

Some say that reading two consecutive Palahniuk novels is bad for your health. Been there, done that. Whatever.
