Hi, everybody! I came across this site after searching within a different site, actually, as another forum I browse has a user group also called "Young Writers Society". Needless to say, I was really impressed after the little lurking I did (felt like I got a little better already hehe), and couldn't bear not to sign up afterwards.

Not sure if I qualify as "young" for much longer, as I'm 21 now, but young adult is probably my favorite demographic, so I guess it fits. :)

About my writing-- I've been told I am an excellent writer. I've got a couple of fanfics floating around the web with good reviews*, and I'm working on one large novel project at the moment which I hope to publish.

Unfortunately, that * above is because I only ever finished one out of about five. I mostly see writing as a hobby rather than a job, so when the inspiration stops, I close the page and go on facebook. It's not helping now either that other obligations and distractions are pulling me from it, either. It's definitely my worst quality as far as that's concerned. >.<

I know this post is getting pretty long, but I figured I'd say a little about myself for whoever's interested. I'm a guy from Florida who fits pretty neatly into the "nerd" category. I love history, science, computers and video games, and to a small degree, sports. I haven't actually been reading lately (for shame :shock:) but my favorite literary genres are sci-fi and fantasy. To name specifics, I'm a big fan of Isaac Asimov, and the Harry Potter series.

Looking forward to meeting people!

Welcome Swordsman!

Wow, you're old (that was a joke).
Uh...I'm not so sure what to say now other than you sound like a pretty awesome guy.
I hope to read something good from you, and I also hope you have a great time here. :)

I never knew a thing till I lost my mind.
I would sell my soul to know it all
But I held the keys all this time.

Hi Swordsman! Welcome to YWS!

21? Good golly, you're so ancient, do you even know how to work a computer?

I have an Isaac Asimov book that I keep on meaning to read--I think it's part of the Foundation series? Maybe it isn't. Maybe it isn't even Asimov. Maybe you're not really 21 and all is a shallow lie.

Anyway. Welcome to YWS.

Oh, wow. Not only do you live in my state, you're just year older than me. And you're interested in *real* science fiction! I think we should be friends.

Hello, swordsman.
Yes, I like Harry Potter, and, to a degree, sci-fi, and also fall neatly in the 'nerd' category - though I'm told I'm pretty good at basketball.
Feel free to ask if you have any questions, and yes, I am *spoiler* Italian
