Hey all! I'm not entirely sure what the best way to introduce myself is honestly! I'm FoolishForsythia (I'm cool with any sort of nickname!), I'm 18, I've been wanting to get back to writing after something of a break. I'm thrilled to be here! I've always been looking for a nice writing community.
Other than writing, I'm pretty interested in video games and gardening!
Thanks for checking this out, I can't wait to start reading, reviewing, and posting. :D

Hey Forsythia, welcome to YWS!! If you have any questions about how the site works as you're getting settled in, I'd be glad to answer those for you ^^

Ooh gardening is awesome! c: Do you prefer like flower gardening or vegetable gardening or both or something else entirely?
When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.

Thank you so much!!! I’ll definitely let you know if I have any questions/concerns. :)

Yeah, it’s really fun!!! I enjoy both vegetable and flower gardening. I really like the idea of growing food, but I also appreciate the “aesthetics” (for lack of a better term) of growing flowers. I’m also not super familiar with it, but plant/flower symbolism is also really interesting, and it’s fun to delve into the significance of whatever I’m growing! How about you? Do you have a preference?

Thank you, I’m definitely enjoying it so far! I usually write short stories (mostly fantasy), but I also like writing poems here and there. Also, thank you for the suggestions! I’ll check these out as soon as I get a chance :)

Ah yes I definitely know what you mean about the ~aesthetic~ of flower gardening! There are a couple flowers I just adore -- snapdragons, gladiolus -- and I'll steal a corner of my family's vegetable garden just to grow some of those xD

Aah I don't know much about plant symbolism but that does sound cool!

I’m glad to hear that, I can’t wait to check out everyone’s writing. Thank you!

That’s so cool, I’ve always wanted to grow gladioli (apparently that’s the plural form of the word) and snapdragons. As far as flowers go, I’m a big fan of hibiscuses, hostas, roses, and orchids! Ironically enough, I’ve yet to grow any forsythias, although I’d really love to do so sometime soon.
