Finally posting this in the right location. :) New here!

Hi everyone! I'm Jessica, 13, a student from Hong Kong. (far, far away from most of you )
I can't believe I had the fortune to stumble upon this site and read so many outstanding works. It's like a world of its own - full of unpublished bestsellers. Honestly! Won't be surprised if a lot of you turned out to be famous authors.
I myself am an amateur in the art of writing, and would appreciate any feedback from you. I love casual writing and am working on my first novel (Chapter 1 draft topic56395.html), so YWS is a real blessing to (or should I use for) me, especially at a time like this.
Apart from writing, I enjoy reading (okay, that was cheesy), word games, art, music, making friends and (well) a lot more. Really hope I can be friends with as many of you writers as I can!
Almost forgot - have a happy New Year everyone!

Hey there! Welcome to YWS! *hands cookies*

Hong Kong? Awesome! I really want to go there someday. My dad went there this year, actually, so I have a gown thing (komono?) that's pretty cool.

You've joined in the new year, huh? Cool! You'll always remember your YWS birthday as something special, I guess.

And there is some lovely writing on here, isn't there? I'll take a look at your chapter at some point, as soon as I get myself back on the reviewing horse!

So, tell us a little bit more about yourself. What's your favourite colour? If you were an animal, what would you be? Any future ambitions? Did you get anything nice for Christmas? Do you think that black is a real colour, or just the absence of? How happy are you right now?

I hope to see you around! If you need anything then feel free to PM (private message) me, I'm always happy to help.

Happy New Year! *high fives*

Hi Jessica! I'm Rosemarie --- I'm from Hong Kong too! (Yay!!!!!)

You can call me Rosie or Rose. Nice to meet you and welcome to YWS!

Since Aquamarine has asked most of the questions that I wanted to ask you, I'll ask something else then. What's your favourite pie? Do you think that Twilight is really overrated? What do you like better, strawberries or raspberries? If you were invisible for a day, where would you go and what would you do?

I hope that we can be friends and see you around!
