Hi! I'm Jess, a 14 year old author and poet. I'm writing a few books, I write fanfiction for Naruto haha, I finished writing a book with my two best friends not too long ago, I write my own songs, and I write poetry about my life and about other things that create the world as we know it! Aside from writing I sing, draw, listen to music, and play basketball. I hope I can make some good friends, you all seem so nice! :D

By the way, do you think you could do me a favor and read a few of my poems on the website I normally post on and tell me what you think? http://www.poemofquotes.com/members/profile/writer4life
I've read a bunch of poetry here already and they're really great, so I hope everyone will like mine...

I'm about to go review some stuff so adios! :D

Hey Jess! Welcome to YWS! (ha! It rhymes!)
Well, you certainly have a better knowledge of grammar and spelling than some other 14-year olds I know, so that's a plus for you already! You'l find that YWS is a little more strict on those things, even when simply posting in forums, but I'm sure you can adjust.
I don't review poetry because I couldn't rhyme to save my life (that bit of rhyming at the beginning was purely accidental) but I'd be happy to review anything else you turn out.
I'm looking at that website right now...ah, I see you don't rhyme things very much, free-form, eh? Maybe I could write poetry if I tried it that way, but I'm a perfectionist, and going all free-form just isn't me *jealous sigh*
Feel free to PM me about any questions you may have!


And by the way, I'm a guy...not a girl...got it? Never, ever call me Jenny. Only one person in the world calls me Jenny, and I hope to make her regret it someday. XD

Heyo Jess!


I'm Lava. Welcome to YWS.
It's lovely to see you're already onto reviewing. ^_^ Those were some pretty good poem. As for me, I work on my abysmal poetic skills.
Basketball is fun, right? I'm not much of a player, but I do love to shoot hoops and stuff.

Don't feel lost. It's quite easy to navigate once you get the hang of it. To post/read works, click the 'Read/Write' tab on the black bar at the top. Or take a peek at the blogs.

Well, then, feel free to PM me if you have tons of questions. I'd be happy to help out.
Cheers,
~Lava

That's good. You're already onto reviewing!

Hi, it's Razzker here. You can just call me Razz though. I'm also fairly new to the YWS, but to be honest, the site isn't that hard to navigate! Just have a look around and you'll get used to the site in no time. I hope to read your work soon!
