Hi AustereMelodies, welcome to YWS! Is it cool if I call you Aust? Or Melody? Your pick!
This site is for telling what's on your mind, but by posting it through poetry/fiction/nonfiction/your blog/etc. We always seek to encourage people by reviewing what you post on here, but also to help you grow as a writer. After all, we are a "writer's society"!
A great place for you to speak your mind is in your blog. Feel free to voice your opinion in any manner you see fit; after all, it is your blog. Or, if you're feeling more creative, post a story/poem/autobiography by going here! People will come and review your work in a supportive yet constructive manner; sort of like speaking their mind, but in a way that will help you to grow as a writer. Constructive criticism plays a big part in this community, as well!
Before you start posting anything, I'd suggest visiting a few places first to get the hang of things here: --There's the YWS FAQ. --Iggy's Welcome Page for new members. --Interested in groups? They can be found here. --Last, but certainly not least, there's the community forums, located here. It's a great place to unwind and meet new people!
Well, that should be enough to get you started. Again, welcome to YWS! Feel free to PM me if you need any further help, or if you get lost. ~Firefly

Sooo, what genre do you like writing in? Mine is generally fantasy and historical fiction, although I think it might be cool to branch out into some others, one of these days. Do you have a preference at all?
If you have any questions, as to how the site works then let me know! I'd be happy to help you out with whatever you need. Let me know~
Welcome!

Generally, I really enjoy writing fiction! I find it fun, and I like the freedom that comes with it, if that makes sense. (x Everything I've written in the past year or so has been fiction based but, I think I would like to branch out a bit, too!
Anyway, I'll let you know if I think up any questions! Thanks again!
