Official Short Version Introduction:
My name is Mervian Otto Robert. You can call me Otto/Robert/Robi/Rob/R, whatever you like.
I'm 19 years old.
My hobbies besides writing are playing the guitar, messing around in Photoshop, parties, drawing.
I enjoy all kinds of writing as long as they are not superficial. ( Except those meant to be superficial )
I read almost everything that falls into hand. Mostly fliers. :D
I really like the forum. It's simple , beautifully structured and easy on bandwith. ( I'm being followed by F.B.I. for router murder )
I usually write late at night , when silence spreads in the house, and I practice my writing skills daily , about 2 hours per day.
I like to write about Love, Romance, Hate, Dissapointment, Loneliness.
I like to read stories that really express something.
I plan on having fun, learning new things and skills, and growing up.
[Taken from a thread , seemed a nice way of briefly introducing myself]
That was for those that don't want to read what is up next..

Hello guys and girls *stands up in the crowd and takes hat off*, I'm Rob, a mentally and emotionally broken human being, that came here because he really wants to find people that appreciate literature. *wipes the sweat off forehead* I am going to appologise for grammar and writing mistakes , but English is not my first language. :)
As a general idea about writing, I have done it before, about 2 years ago I had to put it away, due to a VERY important exam I had, and writing was mostly what I did. And now, after moving to another city to go to university, and seeing the same amount of superficiality in people, I thought I'd start again.
I am the kind of guy that writes out of a very unstable and unpredictable instict. If you didn't understand ( I slightly didn't either ) *looks to the ground and laughs* let me tell it a bit easier.. I cannot put together ideas, and stick with them, and I can get inspired out of anything. I can see a cloud on the sky and go "Oooh shoot a cloud!! POEM!". And I usually get one idea, but when I start writting I go "I can also do that, and that, and that, and WOW! how about this." but then I see that it doesn't make sense and I try to somehow make it work. *grips on the hat tight and blushes*. My main inspiration are the tons of awful things that happened to me during these 19 years of existence, mostly out of being in a relationship broken, that even God goes /facepalm. Childhood wasn't a blast either. *mumbles something* All in all, I had to put away what I want, I feel and need all my life until 3 months ago, and I have repressed emotions that I need to let go.
I am a bit of an introverted guy when it comes to what I feel, so I can set those feelings free through writing. It sets me free. And I believe that without feelings, you cannot write , and make the reader feel, even though I haven't mastered that either. *blushes again*
My main goal as a writer in to change how the world thinks, and to make them believe in love again. I really hate it when someone does something just to get atention, and not because it feels right.
Now for some random stuff.. I act instinctively ( hope i got it right ) *googles the word*. I play guitar from time to time. I like really long talks. I like listening to people and their problems. I like helping a lot. I love to give and not expect anything in return. I like to use *..* to show action. I usually use two dots ( .. ) not three. I smoke. I'm caucasian. I love music. *google opens* Yes , it was right, woohoo! I dance a lot. I like photography. I hate unwanted attention. I love Paramore <3. Uuuh, a bunny!^^.

Hope that gives you an idea about myself. I will try to post some poems I wrote. Until next time, b'bye and take care. *pulls off the old "Exit, Stage Right" bit but falls and bites out of the pavement*

Hi there :)
I'm Coral.

I too can take inspiration from just about everything- oftentimes, I'll see a word and think it looks interesting, or I'll write about the emotion it carries with it. That's just about how everything of mine gets written. :)

Also, I'm also not a huge fan of attention-getters. I try to live and just be and behappy. I don't understand people who need to be noticed in order to do that. It's better and it's a happier thing to do if you learn how to be happy instead of chasing it somewhere else.

I usually write poetry as well, and love photography.

I definitely look forward to reading some of your work- you sound like a character, and your English, despite what you say, is very good. :)
If you ever need any help or anything, please don't hesitate to ask. I'd love to help.
I really hope you like the site!

Hi rob, I would love to play the guitar, but my family can't afford lessons or a guitar. I hope that when I get a job I will be able to. You are right about the structure of YWS I can say that at least once almost every YWSer that has been here for more than a month has gushed once or twice about how awesome Nate (the administrator) is. It is wonderful how much you write. I also write late at night.
I like you so far because you are completely right about writing you have to have feeling. Don't worry YWS will help you with the parts you aren't so good at like Grammar (though you are very well adapted) because it is your second language and improve you in the parts you are better at like expressing feeling. Because really, every area can use improvement.
I happen to love a lot of stuff you love. Actually about the whole 'Random paragraph' except for the smoking part which is i've never tried and your little *..* thingys. I just don't do those.
I think you will love YWS. I find that the people you are like that you never seem to find in person you can find on the internet. I only know one person who likes to write and I got her into it. I am looking forward to reading your poetry!

Do you write any other genres?

If you have any questions just P.M. me,

A. S.

Thank you for the incredibly warm welcome.
I haven't really tried other genres, but I am always willing to experiment.
@Calligraphy I have learnt to play the guitar on my own, just by listening to the songs. :) It is doable.
And thank you for offering your help.
I hope I won't let you down. :)

Hello Rob! I'm Flow, nice to meet you (shakes hand) Usually my attention span isn't long enough to read something so long, but I took the time to this time! (You should be amazed) When I read it I realized that you described me to a T! I was so amazed that someone else had a life like mine haha. I would never wish that on anyone though.

I hope that you are enjoying YWS, and if you need any help feel free to talk to me. You can talk to me anyway just for fun if you wish as well. ALso if you need a review I am here!

-Flow-
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.

Hey!

My name is Taylor and I'm here to welcome yah. :)

If you need any help AT ALL about YWS or really anything, or if you just want to chat, feel free to PM me or write on my wall. (Done by clicking on my name, "Ilovebubbles123", and either writing in the box that appears in the middle of my page or clicking the "Send private message" link in blue under my picture)

You don't HAVE to post stories and work here, but that's really what the site's for and everyone here loves everyone else's work, so why not? To post work, click on the 'submit' button and follow the directions.

If I'm not online or for any other reason, make sure to go to the YWS chat... which is basically chatting live with YWS'ers around the world. To get there, go to the YWS homepage and scroll down until you see the "Enter YWS chat room" button and click on that). One...warning... YWS'ers are very enthusiastic about new members. When you go into chat and say you're new, you will either be greeted by a dead chat (happens occasionally) or a billion people pouncing over each other to meet you.

(Another note- YWS'ers are extriemely sarcastic and we often talk about hurting each other in good fun. Just roll with it XD)

If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me or ANYONE:) and write on the wall! See you around!

Taylor :pirate3:


There's my little schpeal. (spelling.?) XD

Well, my fellow YWS'ers have pretty much covered the rest, so WELCOME! Whenever you submit your first piece, make sure to post it on my wall so I can review it!

For you.

Welcome to YWS, I'm sure you're going to love it here. Don't worry, a lot of us have a hard time sticking to our ideas -insert winky face to make the sentence seem even friendlier-. The people here are great motivators... but usually they're busy trying to motivate you to go and review -insert a 'I would know' face-. If you have some spare time you should come and introduce yourself in the chat room, the people there are insanely friendly. More so insane, but to each his own. (You can probably stick me in the more so insane as well -another winky face-.)

And (Really hates starting sentences with And) don't worry about feeling emotionally broken, life is a puzzle. We have to find the pieces.

Hey Robi, and welcome to YWS! I now you will love everything about this site, because it has everything! :D (Except free mexican food) :( Well I guess you get the point. But this has everything a WRITER needs, from doing reviews, to the story-books, to posting your own work and see what people think about by having themreview it. I just know you are going to find something you love here.
