My name is Dia or Thea, My passion is for poems, but I do still like writing stories. I live in Phildelphia PA.


Pros... I have to read over everything thing I write, and I must check it five times ;]

Cons... I'm not so spectacular with grammar or word choice :] But i try ..... it's my passion for writing that keeps me going lol.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay here Smile

What kind of genres do you write for?

And don't worry about the grammar; if you post it here on the writing section, you'll find lots of people will give you handy pointers and help correct it!

Have a good time!

Welcome!

=P I'm glad you have passion for writing. XD Writing is awesome. And thisd is the perfect place for you if you have trouble with grammar and words. ^_^ When you post your stuff people will help you find grammar mistakes (the really wonderful and patient reviewers, anyways =P) and help you out if some words sound funny. Very Happy People here are cool that way.

We really have only one huge rule that differs from other forum sites: for every 1 thing you put up for review, you have to review 2 other peices. That way we make sure everybody gets reviews. ^_^

Please enjoy the site! PM me if you have questions or need a critique. Wink

We look forward to seeing you around!

^_^ Keek!

(I love your name by the way. Very nice. *steals it for a character*)

Hey! Welcome to YWS! I'm BigBadBear, BBB, 3B, B^3, Jared or Jare-Bear. Whatever floats your boat.

I know that you'll just love it here. And hey, I sucked at grammar when I first came to this site. But within a month, it had improved a gazillion times. Seriously. As soon as you post your story, Dia, your writing will improve maybe even more than a gazillion times. I really hope that made sense.

As Sleeping Valor stated, we have a rule here at YWS that we must critique 2 things before we can post 1 thing. It's not that hard, really. As she said, it's to make sure that everyone gets reviews.

I can't wait to read your story! I'd gladly take a look at if once you post it! Just toss a PM (private message) my way, and I'll critique it ASAP.

Again, welcome to YWS! What kind of things do you like to write?

-Jared

Hi! Welcome! I just joined too. I'm Kiy, Chickii, KB, or really anything else, lol.

I used to write poems all the time, but I discovered stories are more my thing.

Reading over everything is a great habit to have, I need to work on that for myself. I think faster than I can write. X)

Don't worry about spelling. As my firned Gabbers says, "Don't trust anyone who'd rather be gramatically correct than have a good time."

lol PM me & we'll chat!

Hello Dia:) Welcome to YWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a crazy place, full of crazy people, but crazy awesome:)

I'm the same way as you; I love to write poems, but I still do write stories. How long would you say you've been writing? How did you find us here at YWS? I'm positive you'll be glad you did. You get such amazing feedback for your writing, especially when you won't show your writing to anybody you really know *blushes*

Passion is a huge part of writing, so that's really good, even if you think your grammar needs some work. As for word choice, there isn't always a wrong way to choose words. Sometimes it's just your style of writing, and if it's simplistic that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm forever running for a dictionary or thesaurus myself, so I wouldn't worry about it too much:)

If you ever want someone to review a poem or two, I'd be glad to volunteer my services:) Shoot me a PM anytime.


*adna*
