New Member!

Hello everyone,

I am a prolific writer and a passionate reader. I love all things creative and all things French. I am a compulsive interior designer and a dedicated foodie! I am married and have two gorgeous sons. I first began writing on a toy 'petite' typewriter when I was a child, spending many hours bashing out articles and stories. In 2005, I finally fulfilled my ambition to write and complete a whole novel. I have recently published my first novel and am currently working on my fifth!

I look forward to interacting with many other authors and fellow readers, on this site! I can never have enough books!

Dominique

Wekcome Dominique. Sounds like you're fulfilling a dream.

WELCOME

Hi Dominique,

Welcome to the forum!

"...welcome to publishedauthors forum then..." went the goblin feeling that perhaps a slight explanation of what dominiquerussell was doing here, might help others equally afflicted, or unafflicted as the case may be, to better understand writing and moreover what writers are actually going through, explaining "...well, at its simplest, there's a fungus in south america which turns a normal ant into a zombie ant, where for example instead of that ant doing whatever normal ants do, the infected zombie ant becomes different and then starts of feel the need to climb up the stork to a leaf where at its top it bites the stork fixing itself tightly till finally that which was in its mind makes its way out into the air...", meaning perhaps too, that the writer in his turn increasingly feels the need to fix himself to the chair till finally he too releases that which was in his mind out onto the ether here, where others then become infected by it...", in fact, the goblin understood it all too clearly but he couldn't actually stop himself now, saying "...I suppose the real question here is which ant one becomes where the end for both ants is exactly the same now...", and with that the goblin called for the forum doors to allow one more within it recesses, saying "...you will stay for tea won't you, for all are welcome here and we do so lavish attention on those we find interesting..."

Thanks! That made me smile!

Thanks. My website is still under construction at the moment, but the second it's done I will post it on here!

Hi, Domenique,
No one really welcomes anyone to the forum quite as nicely as our Goblin . . . with perfect pictures, too.

Welcome from me, too.
Love,
Betty

("...I find doing intros fun..." replied the goblin thanking betty now, adding "...yet I think livewriting has a lot more to do with painting with one's pen than the storytelling as in a book, as it's just one post at a time like each portrait is, where to post is to exhibit, and where the reader actually observes the interaction between text and picture, rather than just reading a text like a normal post would be...")

Hello Dominique! Welcome to this wonderful forum!

Welcome, Dominique. I still have "finger muscles" from my first manual typewriter in my pre-teens. I peaked early and wrote some of my better stuff on it--all just a fond memory now as it's been down hill since then.
