Hiya!

Hey. If posting in this area didn't tip you off, I'm new to the site and looking for a strong writing community to exchange costructive criticism, etc.

Little bit about me: I'm a university student from Canada, studying English and Art History. I love reading and writing, as well as sailing and drawing. I also sing in a little band with some friends. I love historical fiction, fantasy and my favourite books are Harry Potter, The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons and White Oleander by Janet Fitch. I am currently about halfway through writing my second YA novel.

I love making friends so hit me up if you want to chat, work on writing, whatever.

Hey there, welcome to the YWS! I think you'll like the site; they're great about giving honest con-crit, and everybody seems pretty easy-going.

Wow, you've already finished a novel? And halfway through a second? *Faints* Very cool. You must be really devoted to your craft.

I look forward to seeing you around the site, and if you have any questions or if you'd just like to chat, feel free to drop me a line.

Peace out,
Payne.

Uh, I don't know if I'm devoted exactly, haha. I guess I just get a little hooked once I start a project. Thanks for the welcome!

Hello! I'm Drama, the Llama, Pointe etc.

It’s a great way to meet other writers and, of course get reviews on your own work, and review others. You would not believe how much I've improved, and I haven't even been here a year!!

Do you need some help though, getting to know the site?

Hi! Hi! Welcome to YWS!

This is a great site to get informative, thoughtful peer reviews on writing, and already I have found myself vastly improved over the past year or so. The whole site is filled with awesome people and cool things to do, so I hope you find it fun!

Hey Salem! Welcome to YWS!

Art History sounds cool! As does English!

I love historical fiction! It's only for a year now that I've stepped into this wonderful genre. As to the books you mentioned, I haven't heard of any of them besides HP. White Oleander sounds interesting.

Well, feel free to PM me if you have any questions or if you'd like to chat about anything!
Cheers!
