So, as many of you already know, YWS is about to get majorly updated.

First of all:

- From August 17 to 24, YWS will be down. See:
topic51719.html
For more info!

- During the blackout, the YWS backup site will be available here:
http://yws.nathancaldwell.com
You must register on the backup site in order to use the YWS Chat, which will be available during the blackout as well. If you don't, you won't be able to use the Chat.

As you know, this means a whole week without YWS, and we all need to come up with something productive to do during that time.

Myself, I'll be going back to school on August 17, so luckily I'm going to be somewhat busy with school stuff that week and I don't have as much time to mourn in the boredness.

However, I'm quite certain I'll be quite often seen in the chatroom (which is, of course, very not like me).

What are you going to do? Visit friends? Enjoy life outside the house? Lock yourself in the computer room and sob over the temporary loss of YWS?

Or maybe something else? Share your plans!

me? i will be stetched out on a beach in Greece. So thank god it's those dates, i was contemplating three weeks without YWS as the place i'm going is, unfortunatley, short of internet cafes or handy laptops with free wi - fi. But the new site looks good! Looking forward to seeing the new YWS!

I'm going to dance around in my underwear and eat Chex mix. Oh, and figure out a way to prank Nate. Because it must be done.

I'll probably...write! Yeah! I just might write something. Hm.
In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the deathbed whereon it must expire,
Consumed by that which it was nourished by.

I think I'm going to try to make significant progress on my novel because I told myself I was going to finish it this summer and that has not happened yet.
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Ask a Therapist!
I want to beta read your novel!


Ask me anything. Talk to me about anything. Seriously. My PM box is always open <3

Did we try playing that game? O: I wanna play!

I'll be preparing for school during this week though, so we'll see if I'm around anyway!

I'm going to publish five novels, get married, move to Ireland, become a world-famous pilot-psychologist, and slowly set my plans into place for taking over the world.

Or, y'know, I might just go to school and the gym and play WoW. *shrugs*

I'm going to move in to the chat room :D *begins packing*

The absolutely horrible thing is that I start school the day YWS is supposed to come back up! That's a double whammy right there. :(

Oh well! *begins cramming every possible thing she'll need for the downtime into a tiny duffel bag to take to the chat room with her*

I might actually get a short story or two done, though, if I don't have this place to distract me. :)
Please help spread the word about the New YWS Transition by including the following in your sig:

From August 17 to 24, YWS will be down. See this for more info!

And don't forget to register at the backup site

Are we all possibly characters in someone else's novel?

I think that's the week I have driver's ed. And I'll be working. But really, I'll just be crying on the inside.

I'll probably save all the works I need to review and review them in the time I normally would be. xD

Writing also sounds good...

I'll be moving, too! No, seriously! I move back up to school that week! So a new school year, a new YWS! Perfect timing!

So me at school, you in the boobo corner. Does it sound fair to you?
