Not Really New... But Kind of.

So I joined YWS last year, and I'm on here all the time reading stuff, but I don't ever really post on here. It's kind of my back-to-school resolution to actually write some reviews and maybe post some stories or poems. But quit lurking in the shadows, anyway. So, here goes my better-late-than-never introduction.
I write fantasy, and am currently working on a novel. I used to write a lot of poetry, and have been published in two different anthologies. And I have been known to write the occasional short story.
I play a lot of music, and teach piano lessons. So my life is pretty much a whirlwind of creative activity, though I don't devote near enough time to writing anymore.
Well, that's about it...... so bye for now!

Hi! It's really cool that you've decided to commit more to writing. You're life also sounds so... busy!

You teach piano lessons? I've been playing since I was six or seven. You must be pretty good to be teaching, something I've never even thought of.

You've been published? That. Is. So. Cool. At least in my mind. :D

Good luck on getting more active on here.

Even if you don't go on here all the time (like some addicts I know :smt116 ) it can be really awesome. I am really glad I will be seeing you around more. The more you explore the more you will see that everyone on here is really helpful. As you probably know it is a great place to get peoples opinions on your work before you decide what story to enter in a contest or send to a magazine.

P. S. I absolutely love your avatar!

Hey Alz! I hope I will see you around more often, and welcome (belatedly) to YWS!

One great way to get active is to join a storybook, and I'm here to invite you to one run by our very own Griffinkeeper- we are looking for writers and it looks like it will be a lot of fun!
Anything goes in this one, so create a character and get writing! Here is a link, if you are interested- Griff's Storybook.
Hope to see you around!

Hi Alz! (I, for some reason, love that name)
Welcome to YWS, again! And hopefully this time you can stick around longer, haha.
I'll definitely be looking for some of your work, knowing that you're published...wow, you must be good ;)
Have fun!

P.S. I want to learn piano! Please, teach me >.< lol

Thanks everyone! I've been looking through the storybooks the past couple days - I will definitely have to join one.

Hey alz_gal, my name is Flower! I am so glad that you are going to start writing and reviewing on here. I can't wait to see some of your work, if you post any that is.

I really don't know what else to say. If you need me for anything feel free to pm me. It could be a review, a question, or just to talk, whatever is cool!

Glad you decided to (what is the word) be active on here again!
My reality comes to a close as I once again realize that you don't love me, and even if I love you with my everything you will never care.




I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.
