Hello everyone, I'm Embee. I have this horrible habit of writing my entire life story on things like these, so I'll try to keep it short. I love writing, of course, but I also like reviewing other people's work. My inner editor never shuts up, even when I'm reading a book just for fun. I also enjoy photography and guys who hold doors open for me. :D I am a recovering coffee-holic and I always turn to chocolate in dark times. I prefer writing the modern fantasy type stories and every now and then: romance.

I haven't written in a very long time, but after this year's Spring Break, I broke through my writer's block and started writing again (I like to think it's going very well so far). I'll read almost anything; I don't dislike many books. For me, books are separated into two categories: Brain Candy and Books That Change the Way I Think.

I prefer Brain Candy. :wink: I go through enough brain-changing stuff at school.

I go crazy when a guy holds a door open for me xD Hello Embee, I'm Sara, how do you do? My inner editor talks incessantly as well - nothing is ever good enough, everything needs to be fixed. Characters are too shallow, plot doesn't make sense, comma there, period here.. I can't go to sleep at night if there's a grammatical error in a published book. I just can't.

I think you'll do very well here! There's quite a large selection of romance to browse through, and you'll be bombarded with reviews if you decide to post there. I'm going through a heavy bout of writers block, but I'm finding that roaming through the Storybook section of the forum will get me back on track.

Have fun! I'm looking forward to seeing your name pop up in a lot of reviews.

Thank you all for your warm welcome.

At KD: My favorite book is Atonement by Ian McEwan. My least favorite book genre would have to be Science Fiction. Photography is one of my hobbies and the music I listen to varies. It all depends on my mood. Recently, I've been listening to the indie-type music.

Thanks again!

Embee.

Hi Embee! Your name is really fun to say. I saw your welcome thread on the new posts feed thingy, and after saying it three times I figured I'd better stop in and say hello. :P

So welcome to YWS! I'm Areida, but you can call me Ari if you want. I've been around for a while so feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions. If I don't know the answer, I'm sure I can find somebody who does. ;)

See you around!

(P.S. Atonement is a great book. Ian McEwan is such a good writer.)

Hello there. Hehe, I hadn't been written a story in ages prior to joining the YWS either. The stress of High School was destroying me and I just couldn't find the motivation to write anything. But on August 13, 2009 I got on my computer, which at the time did not have internet access and typed away. Initially I was only going to write a short story for fun. It quickly became clear that I wasn't going to find a stopping point soon. It eventually became a mammoth novel that had to be split into three parts.

I like writing, but editing is a nightmare. You're lucky for having the luxury of an inner editor.
