I'm 54 years old with the mental age of 25. Unfortunately I have the body of a 60 year old mainly because I still behave like a 25 year old.

I'm a confirmed Terry Pratchett fan and I'm a mine of useless Discworld Trivia. If I ever go on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire I want the million pound question to be something like What is the name of Death's Horse? Of course all the proceeding questions would have to be on the Discworld as well.

I'm very married with two grown up daughters. I should have named my youngest daughter Boomerang because she keeps coming back.

    Hi john bucknal;

    My Username is -Syren- and everyone on the site simply calls me Brooke. I would like to welcome you to the StoryWrite web site. Our site is a community of people who all share a common desire to write, in some form or another, and to hopefully become a published author sometime in the future.

    I would also like to take this time to let you know about the new members group on the site. This group was set-up to show you how to post your work onto the site and to give you an understanding of how the reading/reviewing of your work actually happens on the site. If you have not already done so, I would suggest you take a peek into this group and see how this process works. http://storywrite.com/group/info/New+members+group

    Along with a new members group we have a New Members Contest that is held every month. Come and check it out. This months contest will be closed by the end of the day.

    It is recommended that all new members to the site give serious consideration to joining a writing group as a method of assisting them in becoming an active member of the site. It is a place to make new friends and get helpful critiques.
