Hi, I am Kim

[Kim]

Hello everybody!

I am Kim. I live in a small town in the Netherlands (so my English will not be very well). I noticed Mythic Scribes followed me on Twitter (I am @Kim_t_Tee) and that's why I decided to check out this site.

My attention was drawn to a topic about pennames and at this moment I am trying to figure out if I need one, so I decided to register.

I am a fantasy-lover since the LOTR-movies. First I started making costumes, but 6 years ago I started writing. I have published 4 books since. Next year, the first two will be translated into english. That will be a whole new adventure for me.

I am still working on an English website, but already started a Facebook-page in English. So check out Kim ten Tusscher | Facebook if you want to know more. Or just ask.

Bye!

Nice to meet you, Kim. Your English is pretty good.

Welkom, Kim.

My mother is from the Netherlands, and I actually knew Dutch before English because I went to Kindergarten there. But we never spoke it in the home, so I lost most of it. I can understand some when I hear it, but I can't write much. It is nice to see you here.

Tot ziens.

Welcome Kim
I have no knowledge of the Netherlands or Dutch apart from some very rude words I learnt at a campsite fire many years ago [and I promise not to say them here:angel:]

 

[Kim]

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

I have learned English at school. What also helped is that there are many English programs and movies on the Dutch television and many English songs on the radio. It is almost impossible not to learn some English in the Netherlands, I guess.
But my English is far from perfect, so I am glad my publisher has found a translator and an American editor.

Welcome Kim! I too got into fantasy books through the LotR movies, actually it was more that those great epics drew me back after many years, I originally started my interest as a teenager.

My wife is from Denmark and, just like things with you in the Netherlands, she learned alot of English through tv and music, it makes English a very familiar language. She has amazing English (even a Yorkshire accent!) after living in the UK for many years, but when her mother calls on the phone she shifts into full-flow Danish!

See you around...

Welcome to the Scribes Kim! You're English is fine by the way. I hope you like it here, this place is well worth exploring.

 

[Kim]

Thank you!


Yes, I do like this place. I have already found many threads that are really interesting. Sometimes, the opinions here are so different from the opinions in the Netherlands. So I learn a lot.
I would like to participate in more discussions, but it takes time to read al the posts, understand what everybody is saying and than write a reply that the other members understand. But I am sure that will go much easier after a while.

He Kim,

Ook hier? Gezellig! Een leuk forum, dit, waar het gelukkig vooral over fantasy schrijven gaat.

And back to English: Welcome, you'll pick it up in no time and they're great people here!

If I had to leave the USA, Holland would be my second choice.
The only country that I wasn't stationed in, that I visited 3 times.
Ambsterdam x2, and beach town, I forget the name of.

I met several people from the Netherlands in Germany on holiday, they were always friendly and nice.

Welcome.

Hey Graylorne! Nice to see you here.

(For all the others; Graylorne and I have the same publisher.)

Thanks SeverinR!
