Thanks, Goobster! I will definitely remember this for next time. While I tend not to swear as much as possible, I don't really mind if I get that on Hubski. Kinda like banter between friends. Cheers! Out of curiosity, what's your favourite form of writing? I really enjoy writing short stories, because there's a certain art to packing a story into a few pages. I also like poetry, because if I'm feeling particularly emotive, I can channel it into poems. They don't necessarily have to rhyme, but they can have a poetic structure to them. As for reading, what do you like to read? I tend to read non-fiction, particularly history books and biographies.Life here on Hubski is good, friendly, and fun. We also use a LOT of expletives in totally non-mean ways. So if you think you are being yelled at, think about the last time you were three pints in, sitting with a friend at a bar, and he said, "No, WAIT. Dude. Fucking LISTEN... it's like this, man... we NEED Airbourne, because AC/DC abdicated when they canned Brian Johnson! Right? I mean, fucking RIIIIIGHT?!?"
Welcome fellow writer-person!
I guess screenplays are my favorite form of writing. Tight, efficient, and focused. A tool to be used by others to create images. Although, I do have a couple of book-length pieces (sci-fi, crime thriller, zombie apocalypse), as well. But the books that have made me money were technical books. Back when people read books to learn about new technology... Reading... On the other end of the spectrum, I spent the majority of my life avoiding all fiction. I read science and history and studied religions. Nowadays, it's Terry Pratchett. Neil Gaiman. Neil Stephenson. Bill Bryson. And books on language itself, like The Horlogicon.
