Hello everyone :)

Hello everyone! My name is Kayde. I am a seventeen year old junior in high school. I have not been writing for very long, but ever since I started, I have been in love with it. The majority of my writing is letters, but I also write poetry, short stories, and I am currently working on a novel. My favorite topic to write about it my first boyfriend, Ethan. I met him when I was fourteen years old (he was sixteen). We dated for two years and went through a lot together. After we had been dating for a year, he moved away. We still kept in contact with each other and he visited me as often as he could. Five months ago, in September, we had a very ugly breakup. Writing letters to him is what helped me through it all. Since I am a new writer, I am very unsure if anything I write is any good. I have received a few compliments on my writing, but I am afraid they are all bias. I am excited to hear what you all have to say about my work. Thank you for taking your time to read my introduction.

Hey Kayde,
I've played around with the thought of writing letters as a story, but it doesn't turn out that well for me. I had the same thought about people complimenting my writing, but I wouldn't let people read much of my stuff before I joined this website. It's kind of funny what will get you to start writing. I'm a novel writer too, though I've been playing around with short stories. I don't know much about writing poetry, so I don't write it.
Welcome. I hope this site does as much for you as it has for me,

Hi Kayde! I have tried to write a story with letters before! I quit at about a thousand words. I can't remember exactly why. I think it was hard to convey things like feelings. But, I hope it works well for you. I can't wait to read your work just because of this reason.

I have been in relationships where people moved, though I was the person. It was really tough and though I am still close the the person, we don't talk nearly as much, and I can't really tell them anything. I guess we might have grown apart anyway, but even now when we get to see each-other a lot more there are things I would never tell them and a lot of awkward silences.

I totally agree with you about the biased comments thing. People on YWS are truthful and helpful all in one. Which is awesome. If you need a review or just want to talk P. M. me!

I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do,

Hey Kayde! Welcome to YWS!

Writing letters in story form sounds like it could be quite interesting. I've never tried it personally, but I think it could turn out well. :]

As for relationships, I had one rather like that. Except I was the one who moved away - across the country. He and I broke up almost a year ago and we haven't talked since. :/

I hope you really enjoy YWS!
