My name is Tim Harris, I'm 19 years old and from Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Writing has been the centerfold of my entire life and I'm just now starting to look into the writers online community. I can't wait to read all of your guys' work, and to have you read mine .
Also, what I write ranges from; poetry, short-story, modern/teen fiction, and I'm in the working of producing my first full length novel, "Waldo".
Hi Tim! I think you have your avatar problem figured out. If you have any other problems just private message someone with a green, red, or orange username.
I am sure you will enjoy it here. Because there isn't a ton of writers out there YWS is the place where I can talk about my interests to people who actually know what I am talking about. I can't wait to read your novel! Do you have any parts of it up yet?
I also am working on a novel. I also like to write poetry!
Hey there, Tim! It's so nice to have you as another addition. I'm glad you stumbled upon YWS. I'm sure the site won't fall short of your expectations. It can be both fun and addicting at times.(All the time)
So you're from Missouri. That's cool. I'm from California. ^-^ Personally, I just favor this state in every way possible, but it's always cool to interact with others from the remaining 49 states! There're writers from everywhere on YWS, I think you'll soon realize. That is, if you have not already.
But anyhoo, before I go on rambling, I'd just like to tie up my welcome by adding in if you ever have any questions or would simply like a work reviewed or whatever else, I'd be glad to be of assistance when it comes to anything related to the site. Just PM me or post a comment on my wall and I'll do my best in being a help to you!
Hello Tim, I can tell you that while I'm surprised you haven't looked into online writing forums before, you've finally made it here which is important. This is the most consistent writing forum I've ever been on so i think you'll like it, I write mainly poetry so if you want to request a critique, just send me a message via my profile and we can begin our beautiful friendship! haha
Well, I have no clue about Missouri except that it has a lesser number of 'S' than Mississippi. Yay for short stories! And poetry! Although, I consider myself a poetry noob. Also; what the genre of Waldo? I do quite like the title. You could post parts of it for review on YWS.
So, what do you enjoy besides writing? Me, I write as a hobby.
See you around! Cheers! ~Lava

I'm Dreamwalker, but most people just call me Walker xD.
Either way, if you're a writer and want to improve, this is definitely the site for you ;D We're a bit... strange sometimes, but you'll get used to us shortly!

Hi Tim, I feel a little weird welcoming you to YWS because I'm new my self. Welcome anyways. I think you'll really like it here, I know, I love it already! Happy writing!!! ~Dragongirl

If you want to be a great writer, don't think about what you're going to write, just write it.
I'm a huge fan of writers block! When your brain halts, with no direction for where you should go, it gives you threads. All you have to do is pull and unravel the story you're meant to write.
