New Here!

Hi, I am new here, and I absolutely love writing, mostly long fiction, but I will write anything! I actually just finished my first novel and self published it. I will be working on my next one soon!

I am new here too!

that is so epic that you already have a book out! I cant even seem to finish any of my 15 stories that I have In progress. and even if I could finish any of them I still have no idea where to even start on publishing them. go you!

Welcome to YWS, both of you! @Destinycrash and @Sarah12, if you ever need any help with anything, I'll be happy to help.

You have self-published a novel, Sarah? o.o That's pretty awesome. I like you already.

I used Create Space to publish. It's free, and a step-by-step process that is super easy. It's great for getting your name out there!

Try taking one of your ideas and developing the story line, and maybe you can incorporate the ideas from the other stories into the one you chose. I'd love to read what you have!

A friend of mine has used Create Space twice now for publishing a novel, and she seems very happy with it. I made an account on there, but wasn't sure what I wanted, and wasn't quite ready to publish my novel, anyway. xD

That's definitely something I want to look into more in-depth, though. I've heard of so many people having good experiences with it.

Hellloooo! Welcome to YWS!

Oh WOW, it is awesome that you have already published a book, Sarah. That isn't something that is easy to do.

Let me know if you have any questions! Shoot me a PM or post on my wall, and I'd be glad to help you out. ^^

Hi Sarah12! Welcome to YWS! I love to write long fiction too. Do you have any favourite genres?

And you've self published a novel? That's awesome!!!

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about the site.

Hey there, Sarah. Welcome to the site. ^^

Oooh, self-published. You have my eternal respect--mostly because I can't even bring myself to publish a collection of my poetry, and that's my forte. Welcome to the site! I hope you love it as much as I do!

Thanks! It was hard-- really hard. Probably my favorite part of the process, though, would be designing the cover. You have to get it just right. I think this next book I'm writing is much better though. Thanks again!

Hi Sarah! Congrats on finishing and self-publishing your first novel!

Also a warm welcome to @Destinycrash! I know the feeling of having so many different ideas. Hopefully you'll find that one to focus on.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions! Now, HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE'S YOUR GIFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the dancing elephant. That is awesome. Thanks so much!
