I do not want the first pithy lines that pop into your head. I'm not interested in that. I want plot, real characters, sharp dialogue. Plan, dream, live your story, then write it. Novel writing is not for the impulsive. ~Kitty15

Wlecome to YWS, Sean! Remember to read the FAQ and make sure you critique two pieces of work for every piece you post, because the best way to get crits is to give them, of course!

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions, and enjoy the site! :D

Welcome Sean, make yourself feel at home :) I hope you won;t have to experience thievery again, I hardly doubt there will be thievery around here :)

Ah well, as Cassandra said, don't forget to critique 2 pieces for every piece you post!

Welcome, Sean!
It nice that you have part of your story in your blog. But be sure to place part of it in the Literary forum, as well. There, more users will have access to it, and you'll receive more advice.

Best of luck,

*laughs* Paolini is nowhere near a "god" of fantasy. Not even a demi-god, as it were. He's like...a smudge.
Got YWS? I do.

Paolini is so a god! any anyone who disagrees should face his wrath.


Poalini will slap you with his fan leters upright to the head!

If you want i can do reviews and full edits like this, what i did for Nate on his short story The Beach:

LET THE REVIWING BEGIN NOW!!!!!!!!!! ok.......if hes already outside why did he pull a fleece out of nowhere and put it one, lack of minor detail there may i suggest making a sentace like ' because it was so cold in mid april he grabbed a fllece form the hook behind the door.'.....'back in ( add comma ) then scold'.......'from Hurricanes ( add period - delete comma ) So along'...........'crashing waves, ( delete 'and' ) noone (one word) to prod'........felt comfortably ( do you mean 'a level of comfort' ? ).......... a very nice description of your character........'his age (delete comma) in kitty hawk'.........'The sky right now was dimly lit and the sun had not yet risen, although he could tell that it was only a few minutes from doing so for a few rays were already breaking over the horizon.' (revise sentance)......'all the more seem' ('seem all the more').........'come out (delete comma) he looked'....... 'house (add period - delete 'after' - add the word Later ) he noticed'.........'quickly decide(+d) to pretend'.........show it (add 'though'), instead'.........'few stores ( revise to stories) that stayed'........ in front of hair (revise to her).............Good Very good....i like it you foollowed the quot "simplicity in detail, send this to a publisher after these corrections its ready for a short story anthology, plus that would help you later if you decide to get something more serious published....if you want i can hook you up with an editor... she has helped me greatly in the past when i published some of my peoms......let me know what you want to do untill then review is now over, thus has begun "THE BEGINNING OF THE ENDING"

this is a complete edit and revise of his short story ready for the touch of a publisher!

PM me or post here if you want one done for one of your works, i also do peotry.......please limit the number as i will do only one each day.
