Hello! I'm green_river, and I'm new to the forums. I found this site through the Writer's Digest 101 best websites for writers. I especially like to write poetry, and I follow the religion of taoism. If you have any questions about me feel free to ask.

Hello Green_river! ...Welcome to YWS. It is a pretty decent place, all around. ^_~

So...I'm Imp - if you have questions mods are in plentiful supply - they always answer. Their job, you know. And there's the FAQ - if you have more commonplace queries.

But what do you write? Poetry or prose? Or both?

Either way, whichever, welcome to the site. (Watch out for rabid SPEWers. Don't ask.)

I usually write poems, but I'll write prose in moderation. My favourite types of poems to write are free verse or haiku.

Though I don't write poetry more than prose myself, I like haiku. It's a wonderful way to have to be concise in imagery.

Out of curiosity, what led you to taoism?

Howdy, green_river, and welcome to the YWS!

I'm Areida, but feel free to call me Ari. My younger sister Addie is also on the site, and you should see her around as well. If you need any help or have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM me or any of the other mods or admins.

Enjoy the site (I swear it's addicting :P).

Welcome to the site! I'm pretty new, too. I joined the other day. My sister, Areida, already introduced me. So anyway, I bet you'll like it here. Ari is right, it is addicting! See you around... :wink:

Basically just extensive research of different world religions led me to it. I spent a lot of time learning about religions so I could find the right one for me. But if you want to get really technical, The Tao led me to taoism. :wink:
