Young Writers Society

I wanted to participate in the dialogue prompt for the YWS Olympics, but then I went to sleep with an unfinished story and now I woke up to realise I missed the deadline Welp at least there’s still other events to do

Thanks for participating in Review a Week 2024, NoOneInParticular! Your reviews greatly helped other ywsers. Have a wonderful rest of the summer!

Here's your gosling doodle~

hi! did anyone ever tell you that youre a genius?
i was judging for the free verse contest last month (im possibly a terrible judge) and i was reading the poems waiting for something to blow me away- and then o gosh- i read y=mx+c and i felt every single line of it
i read it over and over because i could relate to it so perfectly it was that good

Random shower thought:

The word “absentee” implies the existence of “absentor”. Just like an interviewee is one who is being interviewed, an absentee is one who is absent. In other words, the absentee is having the action of absence “inflicted” on him. That would mean that the “absentor” is the one “inflicting” the absence onto an absentee. So in the case of someone who is sick, the “absentor” would be…the illness. Strange that it isn’t a person. But HOWEVER, if the absentee is absent because of bereavement, then their “absentor” would be…oh gosh…their deceased family member.

(Can I just say that “Absentor” sounds really ominous and threatening and someone should use it as the name of a supervillain or something)

Oh my gosh hi again haven't seen you in so long!!! Missed you, friend. ^^

Oh me
Oh my
I have regressed to my
lurking tendencies again
Whatever shall I do

(I have decided to do at least one review for any work on YWS today. If I end up not doing it, you have my express permission to come here and (metaphorically) beat me up for not doing it)

Hi, just read some of your work! You are so talented!! I loved diving in to your short stories and poems! <33

Congratulations on your second star!!

Congrats on your second starrrr!!2!!22! ⭐⭐

How does one review novel chapters? I genuinely need to know.

I’m looking in the green room seeing all these (probably really awesome) novels which are, like, on part 5, part 126 even. And I want to review them(!), but my brain just goes “nope we are not reading all that” and ignores it entirely. T-T

(other tips on reviewing novels are welcome too)
(thanks!)

Eyes flick to the lights on the digital clock
10:02, the LED strips read
That familiar dread bubbling up inside me
Where did my June Holidays go?
(Gone in a flash)
I have four different alarms prepared
on my phone, but I’m not confident
to wake up in the morning at five-thirty
I’m not ready for school
not now, not yet
(not ever)
Responsibilities — a big mountain looming over me
Inhale a deep breath of air
I hope I did do all of my homework.

(I wrote this in 10 minutes lol I am not ready for school)

Yippee! I have returned after 4 days of not existing! And double yippee because school starts in two days! Don’t you love it when you have no time to write reviews?

Sarcasm aside, I am back and writing reviews again! Rejoice! (Let’s hope I do not procrastinate them to oblivion)

Thanks for the follow!! I totally assumed I was already following you and just realized I was not XD I see you have started putting some poems on the Free Verse Club!! Yay, cannot wait to see more. It looks awesome so far!!

Just realised I’ll be busy next week and won’t be able to take part in Team Tortoise. Oh well, I’ll still do my one review a day whenever I can. Good luck to all other participants, and keep going!

Not me submitting all my reviews at 11.55pm (though today was a special case!) as I keep pushing ot back so I have to rush everything at night. Have healthy sleep schedules, people.
