I'm new. What else is?

Hi and welcome to YWS! I'm Kat aka Al, Always, AW, Writer, or whatever else you want to call me.

I've actually heard the opposite, several times. One of the main pieces of advice published authors will give you is to read, read, read!

Anyway, tell us about you. Do you like animals? Do you have any? Do you play any sports? What do you like to read? What do you like to write?

Feel free to ask me any questions, although I can't promise I can answer them (I've been here almost three years but I more or less just lurk a lot, update my blog, and am not really active; they also changed a lot around in the past year or so).

Hey!

My name is Taylor and I'm here to welcome yah.

If you need any help AT ALL about YWS or really anything, or if you just want to chat, feel free to PM me or write on my wall. (Done by clicking on my name, "Ilovebubbles123", and either writing in the box that appears in the middle of my page or clicking the "Send private message" link in blue under my picture)

You don't HAVE to post stories and work here, but that's really what the site's for and everyone here loves everyone else's work, so why not? To post work, click on the 'submit' button and follow the directions.

If I'm not online or for any other reason, make sure to go to the YWS chat... which is basically chatting live with YWS'ers around the world. To get there, go to the YWS homepage and scroll down until you see the "Enter YWS chat room" button and click on that). One...warning... YWS'ers are very enthusiastic about new members. When you go into chat and say you're new, you will either be greeted by a dead chat (happens occasionally) or a billion people pouncing over each other to meet you.

(Another note- YWS'ers are extriemely sarcastic and we often talk about hurting each other in good fun. Just roll with it XD)

If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me or ANYONE:) and write on the wall! See you around!

I COMPLETELY agree with Al over up there; read, read, read! Post your story and PM me- I'll be glad to review it!

I imagine that if you have the ability to write amazingly without reading many books then you're clearly a very talented natural writer but in general... what they said xD The more books you read, the better your knowledge of different styles, different techniques. Reading is good basically.

Oh and hello there! Welcome to the site

I love your avatar by the way, it's very pretty.

If you need anything, feel free to send me a PM, I can be pretty handy around the site ^^

p.s. My hair is pretty new? I dyed it red again a little bit ago but more red than I've been in a long time. So yeah. That's what's new
