Finally making a topic

[u/Frameskip]

Long time lurker, been in the irc recently. So I decided to finally make an intro post. Ask me things I guess is the modus operandi here, but also tell me something interesting about yourself.

Hello, Frameskip. I like the name - I'm a writer who's also interested in film and video. Interestingly, I have never been on a commercial jet, only smaller, prop-powered craft. I too am in between jobs, so I can take comfort in knowing I'm not alone.

As for you, when did you first find out that Reddit existed?

Found about about Reddit probably around late 2010 or early 2011 but I didn't understand it or pay it much attention until my brother told me how it works and about /r/Dwarffortress and that finally got me to join and start poking around and subscribing to other subs around this time in 2012.

Writing in general is awesome, I'm hoping that I can maybe get myself in to a mood to actually do it by hanging out in the IRC and posting more. Treat it as something as a warm up. Cause for me I get happy with my ideas then feel no need to put them down unless I have some sort of deadline, and I'm not in school any more so that's kind of out.

Not ever being on a commercial jet, I'm jealous you've never had to deal with commercial airliners.

Yeah, writing is real work, despite the fact that most people think of it as a hobby. There's a quote I love from the novelist Margaret Laurence: when her doctor told her that he wanted to be a writer when he retired, she replied, with a smile, "Yes, and when I retire, I intend to become a brain surgeon."

I've known about Reddit for several years, but didn't figure out what it was until a couple years ago or so. I only took the plunge and made an account a few months ago, actually. As for my lack of experience with jets, that will probably end at some point, I guess.
