Ooh, as Zach said, is French your first language? It's quite a beautiful language and I know a few Canadians who speak it as well. Welcome to this amazing forum, Arfemis! :~)
On top of the above suggestions, you can also check out
Art & Design since that's where all artists showcase their work and open up art shops. It's been bustling with activity more so than usual lately, and the members that go there are really cool. They're always up for giving you feedback on your art! As an artist I'd love to see your gallery sometime, too. What kind of art do you do? I loove digital art and graphics like banners/buttons, so those are my favorites. Want to try pixel art eventually as well... but aaagh, it's pretty tough. >.< And if you write, the
Fan Fiction & Writing board is another wonderful place to post your stories. I don't think it's the best place to discuss books, though; that would fall under
General Entertainment, a board for books, TV shows, movies, music, and anime.
And don't worry much about any mistakes you make - we have people joining from all over the world, some of which barely know English. They get by just fine most of the time, though, and end up learning a lot in the process. Since this is an English-speaking forum it means you'll be able to practice! Go ahead and post around wherever interests you and be sure to stick around. :D This place is huge and we could always use more great people like yourself. You seem like a pretty sweet girl.. girls rule! We should be friends sometime, baha.
Anyways, see you around and have fun, okay? If you need anything at all just contact myself or another
moderator. Alternatively, you can ask a
super moderator or
admin.
