Welcome New Members!

Hey, I'm Sarah but I also go by Onyx (a penname I've picked up over the years) so you can call me either. Whatever is less common or whatevs.

Umm... I've been writing in some form or another since I was ten, so about nine years, then. Outside of school I haven't had any offical training and my grammar, for all intents and purposes, is terrible. Nouns/adverbs/prepositons...these things never stuck in my head quite right.

I've been working on the same book for about a year. It started out as a short story that a friend and I did for our Philosophy class and it is slowly growing bigger and bigger. Unfortunately my biggest weakness as a writer (besides an inability to take direct criticism, really just rip my heart out already) is an inability to finish a piece once I start it. After about 40 pages I get bored of the tense or the characters or an element of the plot doesn't work anymore, so instead of fixing it I just throw it out and start over. Thats why I mostly stick to poetry, because my complete lack of an attention span fares better. I also blog and love to read and listen to music and talk about poltics/the news.

Wow, that was a lot. But hey, I'm just throwing myself out there!

Hey everyone! I'm moon jumper, but you can call me moon, jumper, moon jumper, or even MJ if you like .

I love reviewing stuff (though I don't do that often). I have a thread in a sub-forum (Will Review for Food) in The Lounge. It's called, "Will Review Stories. 10-4." I would love for y'all to come and post something there!

Anyway, Rosie got all the rules taken care of, so just PM me if you like.

Ah, Onyx, 'tis the same for me. I admit it.

'Round here, though, we're a friendly crew. Don't hesitate to ask for help; and if you need reviews, head on over to the Will Review for Food board. (It's in Community Forums, right under The Lounge.)

I would be Mira.

I've been writing for, maybe about three years? Something like that. I'm obviously still improving (I truly need to) but I have about 100 pages of a story typed, which is the most progress I've ever made. So I'm trying not to be a pessimist (which is my nature). My inability to finish a story often gets in my way, and sometimes I'm a bit too philosophical.

My current story is called "Forever and a Day", and it's about the afterlife. Which probably explains the philosophy thing. Most people claim to like it, but I'm slow to believe them.

Oh, and if I offend you in any way during my stay here, it's probably unintentional (my personality is very sacastic and dark and easily angered, most of the time), so please forgive me if that happens.
