Howdy y'all

I just joined a little while ago and thought I'd put this little introduction together. I'm really not that much of an active writer, but I was always told by my teachers and other old people that I was quite skilled. I try not to judge myself, but their praise does wonders for my self-esteem. I usually only wrote the typical essays that came with your average high school English classes, but this year (my senior year) I decided to give Creative Composition a try. As usual, I was praised for my writing ability, but what struck me most significantly about the class was that I genuinely enjoyed it. I started out writing basic poetry, and eventually got into short stories. Hey, I even co-wrote a screenplay (based off of my original idea).

Pretty impressive, huh?

But seriously, I really do enjoy writing creatively, and I'm hoping that it'll take me somewhere in life, the future, my career, whatever. If it doesn't, oh well.

I found that I fit rather comfortably in the niche of writing comedic/satirical/sarcastic short stories, so that's mostly what I write. However, that doesn't necessarily mean I don't write in other genres, mind you.

So, that's my story - well, part of it anyway; it's all I'm going to tell you so deal with it.

Remember, I'm relatively new to this whole writing deal, so I hereby apologize ahead of time if I screw up in any way.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Until we meet again,
Chal

Hello Chal!

Welcome to YWS. I'm Lava.

As long as you enjoy writing, you wouldn't screw up. It really is good that you decided to work on your talents. :)

I'd be happy to read some of your works. I enjoy reading satires. You should post them here and I could review them.

Send me a PM if you're bursting with questions.

Hope to see you around.
