Hi! My name is Shy, and I've just recently created an account on here. I'm kind of bad at introductions but hopefully that's okay. I'm a fan of reading, and writing. Of course. I've always kind of been a bit hesitant when it came to joining different communities and support groups, so this will be my first time doing something like this. I'm hoping to really get some good feedback- and give feedback as well. With that said, it's a pleasure to meet you all, and I hope to make some awesome friends on here <3

P.S. I'm, as you can probably already tell, really new to blogging...so I wouldn't mind some tips on how the whole "blogging" thing works.

Hello! Welcome to YWS. =)

Blogging, you say? You can blog about anything and everything you want -- just make sure you don't give out any personal information or something that could get you in trouble. Like, say, confessing to murder. >_>

But if you need to rant or gush or fangirl, that's your place! You can shout and scream and curse all you want in there. Just keep in mind that you should only post a literary work in there if you aren't looking for any reviews. Most people won't bother to review it if it's not published via the publishing center.

You can find the blogs here >> blogs.php

Also, do give the rules a read, as well as the Internet Safety thread and the Censorship Policy. Then go forth and enjoy the site! Please do PM me if you need any help at all. =]

Hey Shy! Welcome to YWS!
I'm a novice to blogging myself, I dabble in it a little, but I'm a much bigger fan of reading and writing!
What do you write?

Most of the time I write within the Fantasy genre- although I do try to experiment with other genres. What about you? :3

Hey, Shy! Welcome to YWS!

I first shared my writing here, so I getcha. I'm not one for groups, but everyone on YWS is really friendly. ^_^

Welcome to YWS, Shy!

I'm Ten, one of your *super-friendly* neighbourhood mods. I specialise in Resources, which you can find under the Forum's tabs. It's a great place to test out ideas, get help with researching, or just general writerly angst. If you need help with anything then feel free to give me a buzz =]

Posting your work up for feedback is one of the bravest and scariest things you can do, and if this is your first time then you've definitely come to the right place. YWS is different to most sites because it's primarily a nurturing environment. We aim to teach and encourage, so it doesn't matter if you're good or bad at writing, or whether you've done it for two days or twenty years, we're all in the same boat.

From that introduction I think you're going to fit in really well here =D
We were born to be amazing.

Hello; welcome to the best writing community on the web. That's no opinion; 'tis a statement of fact. ;)



All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, till they take root in our personal experience.
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
