Welcome

Hey Fellow YW!

I'm feeling a bit old after reading the ages of other young writers here. I'm 23, (gasp!) married, and I have a 2 year old who thinks she's already a teenager. I joined this website because I was inspired by Stephenie Meyer's story about how she wrote an entire saga from a single dream. I started keeping a dream journal of sorts and immediately found my addiction when I could turn them into short stories.

Hmm... something interesting about me: I have a fear of pearls. I'm not sure if this is an official medical phobia, but probably not. My favorite author to date is Jane Austen but that could change tomorrow. I have an eclectic taste in music and can waste half the day away in front of a Guitar Hero drum set.

I'm here in hopes of becoming a better writer and I look forward to meeting all of you as well!

Hi lkay06 welcome to YWS!

My names Night and it's great to met you!

*Shakes hand*

Your not old, you just say, experienced. You probably know a lot more than us other writers do.

Story's from dreams? I'm just starting to do that! What kind of dreams do you have, totally random ones that seem to have no meaning, or lucid dream's?
I'm really looking forward to seeing your stories!

Hooray for Guitar Hero! Though I try and try and practice and practice my cousin still kicks my butt...

Let me just give you a brief of the rules.

Rules

We have the 2:1 ratio, it just basically means review two other works before posting one of your own.

Please, no cursing in your reviews. You can do it in your work but please rate it if so.

Rate your work! If it has swears words, I'd do PG-13 to be on the safe side. And if it uses the "F" word or has sex scenes in it, "R" please. That way we know what were getting into.

Ack! No chat speak! It's extremely irritating! Please no lol's, omg's, or ttyl's.

DO NOT TALK IN CAPS! AnD pLeAsE dOn'T tYpE fUnNy LiKe ThIs! They make it coonfusing to read.

And the people on the site...

Orange People: Distinguished members members. They're retired mods, you'll see them here and there.

Red People: They are the administrators and they have complete rule over the site.
(exp. ban members, lock/delete threads)

Green People: These people are the Senior and Junior mods. Seniors or the dark green, they control and look over all the forums. Junior mods are the light green, they can look over specific area's. &

Blue People: They are the greeters, there job is to help new members learn their way around the site. You can almost always find them in the welcome form.

Purple People: They are the instructors, they give to best reviews, and can help you improve your writing because they may also offer online classes.

Black People: Just normal members like you and me.

*Night~

Thank you so much for everything, Night! I've just sent you a friend request, (if you don't mind!)

Aww...
And I just Approved!
P.S. I never mind.

Hiyas, lkay! It's wonderful to meet you! ^-^ *hands cheesecake*

Well, it seems as if Night has filled you in on all the important information. I suppose I'll just bother you with some questions.

What's your favorite genre? Romance? Fantasy? Do you like to write with pencil and paper or on your computer? Do you have a favorite part of the writing process? Characters, plot development, or the like? What's your favorite food?

:O You're not old! Don't say such a thing! You're still plenty young. ^-^ Aw! A two-year-old? How adorable!

I love it when I have a dream that inspires my writing. I feel as if my connection to the story is just so much deeper, as if I have a better idea of what is actually happening. ^-^ The feeling is just wonderful.

If you need anything, please PM me. I'll try to help as best as I can.

Smiles!
