Peahen Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Hi, my name is Gracie I inhale books, and read a diverse range of genres but don't tend to have anywhere to talk books. At present I am reading Norweigian Wood by Haruki Murakami, as have gone the last few months through a Murakami phase. I live in Belfast, where I sell 500 word articles to the highest bidder all in the quest to be a writer and pay the mortgage at the same time. I am married, and have been for the grand old total of two months to my partner of seven years. I look forward to meeting you all around the forum. G Quote
risingdawn Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Hi Gracie! Nice to see another reader. How did you get into writing articles? And congratulations on your marriage! Quote
Peahen Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 Hi Risingdawn I used to be a journalist, and then went on to be a researcher. I have been using the journalism experience then lately and been freelancing as a writer, often for companies and websites :-) Thank you for your congratulations. Quote

What do you tend to write about? Quote
Peahen Posted February 18, 2013 Author Posted February 18, 2013 Hi Chesilbeach, thanks for the welcome - one of my favourite books Risingdawn - i tend to have to write about the most random things - my last few articles have been on finance, property law and science (maths and science being my weakest topics, so a lot of research goes into that).

Raven Posted February 18, 2013 Posted February 18, 2013 Hullo! How are you enjoying Norweigian Wood? It's a bit different from his other books, isn't it?! Quote
Peahen Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 Hi Raven, Athena and Frankie and thank you for the welcomes. I am enjoying Norweigian Wood, Raven, but yes it is very different from his other work and it has taken me a while to switch to that :-) The main character I am finding quite different to his other central male protagonists.

Peacefield Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Welcome to BCF, Gracie! Very nice to have you! I have Wind Up Bird Chronicle on my TBR list this year and am looking forward to it since it's my first Murakami Quote
