Hello!

I think you're in the right place, m'dear, so no worries.

I can't spell to save my life (ask around: Crysi, Firestarter, they like making fun of me. Meanies. But i get them in Grammar. Yep). Not showing work to family or friends seems really normal, actually. I've always felt more comftorable just posting something under a screen name than as myself, and letting others who are the same way critique it, and returing the favor for them.

So! If you have any questions, feel free to PM or e-mail me (all in my profile).

Oh yeah. Welcome to YWS!

Thank you for such a warm welcome.

Well look at that, I seemingly proved my point.
A spelling mistake in my very first post.
Thats a real talent that.

Welcome Sarah,


I'm probably infamous around the poetry forums as being mean, inconsiderate, and so on. But I'm not that bad! Honest, I only want to see you get better.

Since I don't frequent the fiction forums so much, I probably won't be of much help to you, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask.


All the best,
Brad

Well I will probablly be quickly labelled as a bitch...

See Im brutally honest as well...

But someone has gotta be or those who arn't to great are going to go on thinking they are and perhaps one day make a fool of themselves without being given the chance to improve...

Well thats how I justify my cruelty.

Indeed. That being the case you oughta be the most receptive to your own dose of medicine. I circle the fiction forums, and poetic ones as well. I'll look out for your stuff.

Greetings Sarah!

I'm exactly the same about my work, I really don't show it to my family but friends and the members on this site are always helping out with their critiques.

Enjoy your stay! :D

Im sure I will enjoy it here...

And of course, If you dare to give critisism you have to be able to take it equally as well...

And I respect others opinions as much as I want people to respect mine...

Thats the only way you can get through life I suspect...

Well this place is definately one for their welcoming party I will give it that...

I'm like Brad: I eat small babies.

Apart from that, I only hurt writers!

Hope we'll see your stuff around.

Strange? Not at all. That's me all over. I've only let one person I know see only one piece of my work. And I have quite a few unfinished works. Trust me, from what you've said here so far, you're going to fit right in. And those who truly wish to improve will not see you as a bitch. They'll welcome you, as long as you justify every remark you make.

Anyway, welcome to the site, and enjoy your time here.

You'll love it here-the members rock, the crits are honest (sometimes brutally! :D), and the site is just awesome! I promise you'll learn soooo much, and everyone will help you if you need it. What kind of stuff do you like to write?

Introductions, introductions-I'm Wiggy, and I'm known to be insane. *looks around wildly* What's the turtle's name again? *comes back into focus* Right, right....jkjk I'm not that bad! :D lol But it is fun to be random.
