Here's some general information about me (& some chief dates you may need to know!)
Joined YWS: October 30, 2017
Joined Squills: January 26, 2020
Why did I decide to apply for Squills?
Well, I'd made reading the newsletter a bit of a habit when I first found out what it was (I think that was in the Spring of 2018). I loved that so many of YWS' wonderful members collaborated to make a newsletter; it was just a reminder of how friendly and warm the site really is, and I wanted to be a part of it. I considered writing a sample article for the editors to review in 2019, but ultimately chickened out
. However, in the wake of a new decade, I faced my fears and submitted my application! It was such a joy seeing the "Congratulations!" letter in my PM box and I can't wait to see what's in store for me within this awesome community!What do I write for Squills?
Since I'm a brand-new member of the Squills Staff, I've yet to write an official article. However, my sample article covered the following:
✳ Storybook updates
✳ Interviews
✳ Workshops
✳ A "featured" tab
✳ Site help links
I plan to cover all sides of YWS and what it has to offer, but I mainly focused on the SB tab for my application
. It's so fun to see what other people come up with whilst writing together, and I thought it would be a really interesting experience to report on the adventures that go on over there! I personally spend a lot of time browsing through Storybooks old and new, and am currently working on Don't Look Further, which includes an incredible cast and is very near and dear to my heart. <3Extra Baggage
I'm a total bookworm and joined YWS for that very reason. I had no idea how easily I'd be sucked into the world of roleplaying, story booking, reviewing, and so much more! This site's like my baby, and although I was on a pretty strict just roleplaying schedule for about a year, I'm so glad to be jumping back into the swing of things. I'm in the process of writing a very long, very complicated piece of poetry (You can find that here, it's definitely a WIP) and drifting between novel ideas. Definitely becoming more involved in reviewing and trying to earn my next Green Room Badge! I also love to sing and perform. I do improv all over the city with some of my best friends and am learning to love myself and to trust the people around me <3. YWS has been an awesome place to express my creativity and meet people who love the same things that I do.
That pretty much wraps up me! If you've got any sort of feedback on any articles I may write or if you've got any more questions, reply to this forum or shoot me a PM! I'd be more than happy to hear what you've got to say. Thank you for reading
