Just wanted to say that I'm new here and only 13 years old. If I ever post something I welcome any and all criticism, advice and help( don't sugarcoat it). Also alot of the times I draw inspiration for my ideas from music, friends, games, family and more. Anyone got any good sources?

Hey there, Matt. Welcome to YWS. :) I hope you're finding the site to you're liking so far. I'm sure it won't take long for you to get into the swing of things here.

If you do have any questions though I'd be happy to help you out. Or if you'd like some reviewing done on any of your works I'm also pretty reliable with requests. Just shoot a PM my way or leave a message on my wall, I'll be quick to get back to you. I wouldn't hesitate to bug. xP And that being said, I guess I'll see you around. ^-^
Paul is my little, evil, yellow bundle of joy.

Sweet, I like you already! I look forward to reviewing your work and being as mean as possible. (I kid. Just nit-picky.)

Anyway, welcome to the site! Any trouble navigating, I can help, and feel free to ask any questions you may have. Now tell us a little about yourself. What do you write? Novels, short stories, poetry, lyrics, scripts, or anything else? What genres? Any interests or hobbies?

As for inspiration source suggestions, I just have a tendency to focus on my surroundings and describe everything I focus on, if only a pencil or streetlight, and create the imagery in my head. I can't always use music because I write lyrics, so that's what I do.
Ideas don't stay in heads very long because they don't like solitary confinement.

And once again, welcome to YWS. And, I am sure you'll get addicted to this place in no time cause I got addicted really fast. It's like a world record in getting addicted. XD :smt003

Welcome to YWS!

If you need Anything P.M. me and I'll try to get it for you.

If I ever post something I welcome any and all criticism, advice and help( don't sugarcoat it).

I would say that sugarcoating, and trying not to be overwhelmingly negative are different things, but not everyone sees that so requests of this kind can be a double edged sword. I recommend extreme care be taken in in saying things of that nature.
Anyway,

Also alot of the times I draw inspiration for my ideas from music, friends, games, family and more. Anyone got any good sources?

What do you write? (I've lots of ideas on this, and if you tell me what you write I can tailor my response to you and your tastes)

Welcome again!

In response to everything that you people have told me I would consider myself to write several different topics*. Sometimes I'll write something that's sort of philosophical and I've made an attempt to write sci-fi, fantasy and I'm now working on a series that I'm sure will make it through. I'll try and post a sort of guide sometime Saturday or Sunday. It'll be called Chapter 1:Origins and the series I'm thinking about naming The Cataclysm Chronicles or The ArchMage Saga(comment what you think about the name). I would like to give a thanks for all the welcomings too. I've been looking for a place like this for about the past year and a half, when I got commited to writing. I look forward to what you all have to say about my works and if you guys would like I could post some of my "philosophical" works.

*Usually the topics I work on are heavily impacted by my mood,memories and/or current source of inspiration.

Scratch what I said earlier, I might have the first chapter posted here by Friday. If someone could tell me how I post it as a novel that would be great. :D :D :D

Alright! I'm Kagi and I guess I figured I should do the nice neighbourly thing and say hey.

Welcome to Young writers Society or as we call it-YWS.
It's a pretty crazy site but you know, it's one of the best. If you need any help or you're slightly confused just pop a note on my profile, by clicking on my name, and I'll do my best to help you out! ;) I was new here too not so long ago and sometimes it takes a while to get to know your way around here.
So some pointers that'll help you get started;
- Following peoplen is like adding them as your friends.
- When you make a review on stories or poetry or anything you earn points.
-Points is like money.
-You use points to post your on work, when you run out of points~You can't post anymore until you earn some more.
- You can post storeis,poetry,art,scripts,lyrics,articles,movie reviews and so much more here! Post anything you're good at-video's of you singing or anything really! YWS is a great site in that way.
- You can sedn private messages to people by pressing PM ME.
- Entering contests are a good way of getting to know people.

So that's the main stuff really.
Have fun on the site and again, don't be afraid to ask me anything at all!
