Hi Everyone.

Dear Members of YWS,

I've been browsing this website and I must say that it's pretty wonderful. It'll be great to eventually get to know you all. My name is AJ and I'm a pianist, composer, and writer. Music is actually my biggest passion in life, but recently I took up writing as well. I look forward to reading the material that you all post as well as sharing my own. Tell me a bit about yourselves. I'm excited to get to know you all.

Best,

AJ

Hey there, AJ.
I'm Meerkat. I like reading, playing video games, and writing short stories (I haven't got the attention span to work on a novel). It's really neat that you compose music; I bet it takes a lot of talent. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the community here, and I'm looking forward to seeing your writing.
Welcome to YWS, and have a great day!

Hello! InfiniteRectangles here! I am also a musician, but I don't compose. I play a few instruments, sing in a choir, and occasionally conduct (tis much fun!) Anyway, I hope you like it here and I'm looking forward to reading some of your work!
Welcome to YWS and have a wonderful day/night!

Hello TribeofArt here! I'm not a musician and still a student but I do play musical instruments since i grew up in a church and also I'm in a band. Drum,trombone,trumpet and the piano. Anyway nice to meet you and I hope you take the time to read my work titled, "Falling in Love With An Idiot" =)

Thank you all so much for your awesome replies! You all make this a very welcoming community. Thanks for making me feel comfortable here already .

@Meerkat,

Nice to meet you, Meerkat. What kind of books do you like reading? Writing music is a journey for sure.. To write music successfully, you have to dedicate all of your time to it. My most successful times of composition are when I lock myself away in my back piano room and don't stop composing for hours. Feel free to send me some of your short stories, I'm sure I'll enjoy reading them.

@InfiniteRectangles,

That's a cool username. Do you like mathematics? It's nice to see other fellow musicians here. Do you like conducting? I've never had the opportunity to try it, but it looks tremendously difficult to do well.

@TribeofArt

Hi, TribeofArt. In my book, if you play a musical instrument you're a musician! The piano is my favorite, as I'm sure you can tell. I'll be sure to check out your piece shortly.

It's great to meet you all.

Best,
AJ

Yes, I like physics and applied mathematics (which is kind of ironic because my username is based off of a theory xD) Also, I love conducting! It can be a real workout during long sessions though lol. It's honestly not as hard as it looks. The only time it gets really difficult is with complicated meter changes and such. For some reason though, I find it much easier to conduct a choir than a band or orchestra. I think it's because there are less sections to keep up with.

Hi, AJ. I mostly enjoy adventure and sci-fi, though there are great books in every genre. Horror's my choice for short stories, however. Here's one story I wrote:
A Test of Will
What do you think you'll be writing here on YWS? Short stories, novels, poetry, lyrics?
Whatever it is, I'll be excited to read it!

@InfiniteRectangles,

Math is awesome, isn't it? That makes sense about the conducting. Maybe one day I'll try it haha.

@Meerkat,

I'm going to check out your story right away. I'm excited to read it. A few hours ago I posted the first chapter of a Novella I'm writing in the novel section. Feel free to check it out if you'd like

Best,
AJ

Hey AJ, backroads here- it's so awesome to find another musician on here and it is so cool that you can actually compose music! Welcome to YWS!

@backroadstraveler
