Hey, Ash. We've been following each other for almost a year and I'd really like your input.
          
          I'm asking my followers to please read through my 14 pitches for the Open Novella Contest and see if any of them appeal to you. If you could spare an hour or so, knowing what does or doesn't work will help me a great deal in making a success out of my novel writing.

@ashbytheisle That feeling gets easier to handle with exposure, but you have to take that risk. It's okay to post something and say, "I'm not ready for negative criticism."

@lina_ledovskaya LOLLLLLLL MAY THIRDD, GOT IT LINUSIK 
              my relationship with languages is kind of conplicated haha!
            ▪︎  i was born and raised in america so english is my primary/most dominant language
            
            ▪︎ my parents’ language is bengali and that’s what i use to talk with them. sometimes i’m a bit stiff in it, but i can speak and understand on a native level. however, i was never properly taught to read or write in it and don’t really use it outside of my family. i got tutored on how to read and write classical arabic from when i was little up until i was a teenager for religious purposes, so i can recite it but don’t understand the meaning. does that make sense haha?  
            
            ▪︎ the only languages i’ve “studied” are spanish and korean. i took spanish in school for four years, and have been learning korean for seven years now. i haven’t really kept up my spanish skills, but i still use korean to communicate with friends/colleagues/peers so i would say i’m more comfortable in korean
            
            ▪︎ other than that, i know basic mandarin and russian phrases, mainly from friends and from growing up in a multicultural part of NYC. i also sing in a choir and we do a lot of french, italian and german music (about to do a tchaikovsky unit soon so maybe we’ll see some more russian!) so i have very limited command of those languages, mainly reading and pronunciation. 
            
            overall, i would say i’m only proficient in english, bengali and korean but still learning! linguistics is a really cool field of study and i love meeting multilingual people! how many/what languages do you speak?
