We’re quickly approaching the end of quarter one of 2026 (how in the hell is that even possible)!!Where are you at in your reading goal and what’s been your standout read of the year thus far?💭

Good morning everyone (or whatever time of day it is where you are) 🌞 I was setting up for my morning writing session, and I thought of making a post to get to know other writers here on PB.

Do any of you write, as a hobby or professionally? What kind of stories, poetry, etc. do you write, and in what language(s)? Are you currently working on anything specific? Tell us a bit about yourself, and let's get to know each other! Feel free to also link any profiles where you post your writing or any of your publications.

I've always written for fun ever since I was a kid, and I would love to get published someday, but it's hard to find the time to work on longer projects as an adult! I write mostly in Spanish, and mostly sci-fi and horror, although I don't limit myself when it comes to genre and also like to write poetry here and there.

I don't post my writing anywhere, and I only share it with classmates when I occasionally take a writing course for fun, mostly because most online writing spaces I know are in English and I don't have the energy to keep up a blog 😅 Maybe I'll take some inspiration from everyone's replies 🫶

My short-term goal is to start participating in writing contests to get over the awkward feeling that comes from sharing my writing, and to see if I'd be able to make a little bit of money from writing 🤞 My medium-term goal is to finish a sci-fi novel I'm working on that examines themes of community, survival, and finding meaning in just sharing a life with each other when our world falls apart.

What about everyone else? 😊
