Pumpkins get more welcomes than i do, hahah:)

okay, so. i am new to YWS but i have been reading hundreds and hundreds of other peoples works prior to this, i just have never signed up before.i am here because i love to write and read, writing is my passion. i have this weird habit of narrating my life while it is happening. like all of a sudden, out of completely no where i will just start describing something random with great detail. i catch myself doing that a lot. anyway, i want to go to the University of Michigan and get a masters degree in creative writing. i have been writing a novel since July 2009 and yesterday i hit page 100. i am so proud of myself, i want to be edited, written, and published next year. but i don't know how realistic that is when i still have school. even though my age says 18 i am really 13. i am in the 8th grade. and i love when people give me constructive critisism.oh, and i am not nearsighted.

Hi Rayne!

THANK YOU RachaelElg! YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE TO WELCOME ME! Thanks for the tips:)

Hi! Welcome to YWS!

I lurked on here for a few weeks before joining up too, but I was really glad after I did because it's a really friendly community and you get loads of useful comments. So yay! What's your novel about?

Hey Rayne, is it alright if I shorten your name? Anyway, my name is Flower, but most people around here call me Flow now a days haha. I am really glad you decided to joing the site! It's a really good place to get get critiques and such, but I am sure you already know that, being around as much as you have and all.

Ok now some good advice and some rules. Here at YWS we like a 2:1 reviewing to posting ratio. I don't think we have much of a problem now that the points are more sparced, but just the same that's how it is. If you don't give review you won't get them. Speaking of reviews if you ever need one I am always around to give them. Just check out my Will review for Food thread. Link -> topic68212.html I love reviewing, and nothing makes me happier than reviewing for newbies

Ok, so then grammer. Even when posting as a reply we try to stay at least a little bit proper. You know capital I's and so on, no text talk. Well an lol every now and then, but besides that, well you get the point.

I'm sure you know where to post so I won't get into that, but if you ever need me feel free to pm me. I am always happy to help.

Now that that's out of the way, what do you like to write. You said you are writing a novel, what genre?
Do you like to read?
What else do you like to do? Give us details about your life.

Yo Rayne!

Welcome to YWS! I'm sure you'll have fun around here. I have myopia. (Near-sightedness.) It sucks to wear glasses. I find contacts worse. :/
It's great to hear you work on a novel. Good luck with it!

If you feel confuzzled by anything, feel free to PM me.
Cheers,

Thank you Pink and Lava! Everyone is so welcoming here and congrats to Pink. Page 64 is still a wonderful accomplishment! And Lava------- I FIND CONTACTS SOOO ANNOYING! I so agree with you!:)

First off, welcome to YWS!!!

i have this weird habit of narrating my life while it is happening. like all of a sudden, out of completely no where i will just start describing something random with great detail. i catch myself doing that a lot.

Me too! Haha, it kinda bugs me but I can't help it. Anyways, I hope you like the site and feel free to message me if you want help, a review, or whatever you need.

Awesome. And I think I somehow managed to post on the wrong thread to welcome you...hmmm...probably scared some poor peep...

Nice to have you here, anyway! I think I mentioned that, though. And I hope you do get published. I'm up to 96 pgs. on a novel I've set aside forever...okay, so maybe I'm trying to edit it... Lol. Can't wait to see yours.
