Hello, YWS...my name is Emily. I...erm...well, I don't know what to say. I suppose I'll start off by telling a little about myself? If that is not conceited?

I am thirteen. I...well, I have never been good with speaking, and I do speak very little. But writing is my life, and I have been writing since I was eight. I...I really don't even know what started me writing.

I enjoy all different types of genres. Fantasy, and er...poetry, I absolutely love poetry, though I have never been good at it myself, I do intend to put up some of my poetry, and perhaps, maybe, get some help with it?

I have never shared my work before, I am so used to hoarding it and trying to edit and fix it myself, even though I know that it is horrible to do so. So I am hoping to...erm, to break the habit.

Well, I hope that is not too much...I really wasn't sure what to put. I do hope I will be welcome here. My cousin mentioned it to me, she said her user name was, erm, Broken Wings? And she felt...er...she felt terribly sorry for not coming on in so long, but she...well, I forget what she told me exactly. But she said I write better than her, and I need others advice, so she told me to come here and I, er, I did.

Is this post too long? Oh dear...terribly sorry. Please do forgive my ranting, I'm just nervous.

Hello, hello! Please, no need for shyness here. We're all fairly decent human beings (although some have shown alarming tendencies towards vampirism) and as long as you're perfect, even the vampiristic ones won't bite. :wink:

Seriously, though, what's this site for except to improve? If our work is already professional, what good is it to have it critiqued?

What kind of poetry do you like to read, Emily? I myself keep a large volume of Tennyson next to my bed, and read a bit of his sometimes-disturbing but luscious poetry...

Fantasy? You like fantasy too? HURRAH! Perhaps we shall be friends.

And believe me, if anyone has to apologize for length of posts, it is I. I can't stop writing, once I get started...it's like the click of my fingers on the keyboard is hypnotizing! Besides, it's a writing site. One is supposed to be long-winded. :P

Please, if you have questions, need a critique or just have a sudden urgent desire to crawl into a corner and put a blanket over your head, pm me and I'll be glad to offer you answers, critiques or I'll provide the corner and the blanket. Glad to have you aboard!

I love vampires...I read all kind of vampire novels. I've written the beginnings of a few stories, too.

I like all kinds of poetry. Any at all, as long as it is good. But, I have to say, er, my favorite poet, and writer, is Edgar Allan Poe.

I do hope we'll be friends <3;

Thank you ^_^;

Thank you, I...er, I do hope to see all of you around, as well.

I just posted the first chapter of my recent story, only a few minutes ago ^_^?

Thank you all <3;

Ah, ah, yes, I...I did write that. I'm glad you...enjoy the title?

I...I really enjoy all critique I can get, so I'm..er, I'm very glad you plan on reviewing it.

And...and yes, I do stutter in, uh, in written paragraphs and...um, it's how I type and, er, speak.

Hi Emily.
I just read your post. I'm also very nervous, although you wouldn't know it. You remind me of victor from corpse bride. In the best possible way of course.
You like Edgar allan Poe? I love his writing too. His best story is probably the Teletale Heart, in my opinion and the Raven.
I also like poetry but my feeble attempts are well..... just that feeble.
Welcome to YWS anyway!
I hope we can be friends, you sound like a person i would like to meet.
May i ask what year of school you are in?
I'm in year nine.
See you around!
Charlotte



It had a perfectly round door like a porthole, painted green, with a shiny yellow brass knob in the exact middle. The door opened on to a tube-shaped hall like a tunnel: a very comfortable tunnel without smoke, with panelled walls, and floors tiled and carpeted, provided with polished chairs, and lots and lots of pegs for hats and coats—the hobbit was fond of visitors. The tunnel wound on and on, going fairly but not quite straight into the side of the hill —The Hill, as all the people for many miles round called it—and many little round doors opened out of it, first on one side and then on another.
