Hello there! I'm Courtney. I just like the name Valla, hence my username.

I have been writing on and off for about 5 or 6 years. I started around the age of 12 or 13 and I am now 18 years old. I admit, I have a problem with critiquing my own creation. Because of my critiquing habits, it is rare for me to share and finish my work. I have decided to turn to a place I feel is most comfortable for me to reveal my stories, and to give and get advice. I feel I can handle constructive criticism. As long as it's constructive and not just criticism.

With that being said, I look forward to reading new works and working with you all. :D

Hey there, welcome to the site!

It's funny, I think we're having the same problems -- I had a distinct problem with not accepting criticism of my works at all when I was 12-14 (which led to a lot of poetry of questionable quality on my old deviantArt account xD), but now that I'm 19, I'm going "but criticism! I need it from people who aren't me! I hate this too much!"

One of the things I've found has helped is finding people who actually enjoy your writing and making something of a makeshift support system out of it, haha. It's kept me writing, knowing that I have friends who would devour every failed first chapter and let me know if I'm just hating it too much. (Funny thing is, I met them all on here.)

Welcome, again, and I hope you settle in nicely!
stay off the faerie paths

Welcome to YWS, Courtney!
“I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then."
- Lewis Carroll
  








It is only a novel... or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language
— Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
