Writing has always been a secret passion of mine. That’s a definite truth. I knew I was never alone in the hobby, but I’ve never particularly craved for anyone else to read my work. I’ve seen and heard about this place before, through others, but I’ve never had the motivation to register. Whereas now, something has obviously changed in my mind and I am here; for reasons unknown to even myself. Perhaps to reignite that now dimming flame of the love of writing in my mind, or perhaps to give myself something to do on a wet and miserable Saturday afternoon such as the one I am currently experiencing.
I am unaware of my favourite genre of writing as I have yet to experience them all fully, so I’m open to any and all stories that people may have to tell. I appreciate constructive criticism as well, and will never take offense to any ‘advice’ which may allow me to one day improve. I dislike it when people make mountains out of molehills and tear other’s stories apart, only for the own personal satisfaction they get from doing so. I attempt to ignore all such persons, and take pity on their victims and themselves. I hope to enjoy my time here amidst people with similar interests to mine, and wish well on anyone who truthfully wants to bring entertainment to others through writing.
As for my own works, I am not going to post anything I have written prior to my registration. I will only post new works; one of which I have written in the hour I’ve been online. I have named it ‘Xenomorph’, and encourage anyone to read and give feedback on it. I’d really appreciate that. Thanks.

Hello there JCK!

Welcome to YWS!

Dude! That's sounds like an interesting title. Although, it could be just another alien form. ;D
So, what do you enjoy besides writing?

Good luck with your writing!

And feel free to PM me if you have any questions or if you'd like to chat.

Cheerios.

Besides Writing?

Well, I enjoy a lot of things beside writing; I enjoy playing the guitar, fencing, walking, cycling and surprisingly I kind of enjoy school at the minute. But writing definitely stands out for me.

JCK, what's up buddy. :mrgreen:

Welcome to YWS! Glad you decided to finally make an account. Now that you have, I'm curious to see if you'll regret not joining sooner. I might've joined years ago had I had any clue this place existed.

Anyway though, I really hope you enjoy the site. I think you'll find it's a great place to really hone in on your writing skills. There's a lot to do and many friends to be made. :] So take advantage of all this place has to offer and explore a bit!

If you have any questions or are ever simply in need of an honest and thorough review, you can feel free to contact me via PM(private message) or wall comment. I'll be glad to help you out in any way that I can, but I have no doubt you'll be perfectly fine in getting around. Still, don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it!

That all being said, welcome again, JCK. Hope to catch you around the forums and what-not.

Hey, JCK!
I'm Pink/Shear and welcome to YWS! :D
*Throws confetti*

I'm glad you changed your mind into joining the site. I was kind of like you, I wrote but never really had others read it but I learned that only if allow others to read my work and review it, will I grow and learn more overtime as writer and a reviewer myself. ^^

I think you'll really like YWS for it has many friendly reviewers and we're all here to help one another out. I know I've never encountered another site as great as this one and I love it dearly. I hope you end up falling in love with it too! ^^

Anyway, the site is pretty easy to navigate but if you have any questions on anything or need to find anything just shoot me a PM and I'll be happy to help you out. Don't be afraid of the green guys either, we're not aliens, we're just simple mods doing moderator duties - which are pretty boring. But we know our way around the site so we're great for Q&A. :)

I hope to see you around the site more often and have fun!
