Young Writers Society

So, yeah, hi. I've been around for a couple of weeks and realized I never really did introduced myself over here jajaja
Generalizing a bit, I'm 17 years old, was born in Panama but currently live in Costa Rica. I'm in my last high school year and am really new to writing. I've kind of been trying to write ever since I read a friend's work (after insisting quite a bit) ans was marveled at the world she created. It reminded me of the one time years ago I had tried to write something, after actually beggining to read a bit.. It ended up as a 2 and a half pages work and in spanish. It sucked, really so I decided to leave it alone and that if I ever tried writting again? It'd definitely be in english!

Well then, after I read her work I tried to write one of my dreams and make it a story. It worked as a warm up of a kind, but it still took me more or less 2 or 3 years to stop being lazy and just writting on whims that could vary from days to months. The story Im working on right now would be my second, but it is one that I do love to write and develope.

I joined this site to share my work and have somewhat of a push to work on my story more often. So far I've published 3 chapters (the last one I published it yesterday I believe) of what could be called my set style and such. The work I've posted has gone through changes like being cut down to almost a quarter of its length 'cause I used to publish really massive chapters, have began to use a more 'reader friendly' style as im trying not to make paragraphs too long and things of the like. The currently dislpayed chapters are the fixed ones, so don't worry about that.

I'm really new to writting and everything, but so far I've enjoyed the experience. Since english is not my first language I'm struggling quite a bit with grammar.... As I've been told plenty. But I do am working on it and hope that soon I'll stop messing up so much!!

So, that was my introduction. Hello to you all
Im zafae. My story's name is Tristesse and I hope I'll soon get more readers jajaja and reviews since they do help improve as a writer, that even though it's a hobby? I want to improve as well.
