Someone to write with

Quote by Joris130
Hello everyone.

My name is Joris and I'm pretty new to this website, but enjoying it alot already!

I have a question: I'm looking for somone to write a story with. I have lots of ideas and fantasies, but I'm Dutch and my English is too bad to write a story you would all like.. So anyone want to write with me? Help me, please?

I can't help you, I'm afraid, but welcome to Lush! I am sure there are some lovely people who will be able to help.

I did correct your post, which, I must say, was written a lot better than many people I know who use English as their sole language!

Oh my, what did I type wrong? Lol

And thanks, CenterLine. I'll contact you!

Don't worry. I'm also known as Miss Persnicketty Pants (that's one to Google - could be interesting).

The good news is, it only needed tweaking. If you compare your original post with the quote that I tweaked, you'll see the difference.

From your posts so far, I would encourage you to write your story anyway, and see where you get. As Centerline says, they may able to help with editing. If not, you could always post again when you have something written.

You could also try using Google Translate. It's not a perfect process, but may help you overcome parts of it. If you do use it, though, it will definitely need editing before submission. Also, try translating from the English back into your own language to see if it's still what you're trying to say. The results can be quite funny.

Good luck, and let us know how you get on.

Hmm thanks alot. Perhaps I'll try to write it myself, although I still believe my English isn't well enough to do so.

I'll let you know if I wrote something!

You could try starting off small, say with some prose poetry or flash fiction, just to see how you get on. I'm afraid I can't offer any help right now, but keep us updated. I'll be watching.
