Great to be here

Hello fellow Prosians (Prosaics?)...

So pleased to stumble upon this platform via my very talented acquaintance @PaulDChambers - I've already read some incredible work on here and excited to experience more. 

Love fantasy fiction, horror, anything set in the 60s or 70s and dark comedy. Can't beat a good dose of erotica too ;-) Big fan of Easton Ellis, Jay McInerney, Hiromi Kawakami, some of Chuck Palahniuk, Margaret Atwood. I realise how male-heavy that list is and am really keen to read more female authors. 

Writing for me means many things, sometimes it's the only outlet for a stormy mind, on other occasions it's about the creation of a separate experience I have never lived, and never will - writing and reading enables an exploration of that world. 

Sometimes it helps to pen real experiences that have perhaps been painful, and seeing them on the page seems to ease the pain and turn it into something I can be proud of instead. I can often read back and find a lot of humour in some of my terrible decisions and impulses, which makes it all okay, right? 

Please do get in touch and send any recommendations my way. I've written one post but my mind is whirring on more (always).

Thanks,

Kristina
