A confusing hobby

As far as I remember myself, I've always been interested in literature. I suppose my granny was the first person who opened the exciting world of books to me. I remember our daily bed-time routine: she'd sit near my bed and read fairy-tales and folklore stories. When I got older and went to Elementary school, she'd practice reading with me on weekends and vacations. Later, I started writing stories myself.
In the beginning those were fanfiction stories, containing characters from my favorite books; later there started to appear original characters and finally, in the 6th grade I wrote my first book, consisting of five chapters.

It was the time when I started being interested in English. I realized that I didn't want to read translated books anymore, because this is not the way the authors wrote them originally. That's why I've decided to attend English courses. After a couple of years I've become capable of reading books in English, which really inspired me to start writing fanfiction stories in this absolutely beautiful language.

Now I write these stories in two languages — Russian (which is my native language) and English. Although I do enjoy creating them, they've never been published on web sites, devoted to these sort of things, unlike Russian ones. I'm ashamed of giving readers low quality fiction, which won't bring them satisfaction. Yet, I don't lose hope of connecting my life with English literature. Maybe this website will give me some inspiration to do what I love most of all — to write.

I think this website will give you a fantastic opportunity to share your writing!
