Hello, all!

My name is Anna, but feel free to call me Avens--I'm happy to go by both.

I'm seventeen and am very excited about starting college this fall, where I plan to major in English Language and Lit.

On my own time, I mainly write YA Fantasy novels and more LitFic-heavy short stories. That said, I will gladly read anything thrown in my general direction.

Although I've been writing for years, this is the first time that I've looked into communities online. I do take on NaNoWriMo ever year, though, and absolutely love those forums, so I hope to find the same sense of family here (I mean, who doesn't want a house full of eccentric writers?)

As to my current exotic coordinates, well that's very Hush-Hush Top Secret.

Okay, it's Thailand. I'm visiting family here until mid-July, so my internet is kind of touch-and-go for the next few weeks, but I hope to be around enough to get settled in and learn some names.

Nice to meet you, strangers!

Anna/Avens

Hey there Anna, it's lovely to meet you! Welcome to the site!

If you don't mind me asking, where do you live when you're not in Thailand? And what other hobbies do you have, are you interested in any sports?

If you have trouble finding your way around the forums, want to talk to someone or would like a critique then feel free to pm me! See you around,

Hey there Avens! I'm Stella, and I'm sorry to say that I don't have family in any exotic places, unless you count London as exotic (most people don't) and I've got a long way to go before I get to uni :D. So I hope you like it here, it's quite a small, close community, everybody is really supportive. I hope you enjoy yourself.

Feel free to PM me if you need anything!

Hi there, Anna-slash-Avens!

Welcome to YWS! I go by name Demeter, but some people call me D, Dem, Meter, funnily enough. :) Wow, Thailand! On the mainland or on some island? I visited a Thai island Koh Samui in January, it was really great! You're lucky to be there. I love travelling.

Wow (again), you're a NaNoWriMoer! I should take part this year, maybe. There's a forum for NaNoWriMo here, so you might want to check it out for tips and experiences.

Remember also the check the About section on top of the page, there are some helpful stuff. I hope you'll find this place rewarding and cozy! Any questions? Just PM me. See you around!

Heya Anna and welcome to YWS!! *hands out muffins*

If you ever need anything at all then feel free to pm me and I'll be more than happy to help you out. Check out the FAQ's and Guide if you haven't already.


Ah, Thailand - now that is very cool. 8)

As for finding a YWS family; that should be easy. We're more or less all one big, happy, dysfunctional family here.

All the best and I'll see you around,
Alainna

I normally live in the US; I'll be in Minnesota for college. Freezing, I'm sure, but that's okay.
Hobby-wise, I'm a photographer; sport-wise, well, I'm just uncoordinated. I like to watch, though, if other people are.


Nice to meet all of you!

Anna

Hello there, stranger!

Welcome to YWS! I'm Gahks (that's pronounced 'garks'); glad to meet you! I bet it's just as hot out here in sunny England as in Thailand!

So I see you enjoy fantasy? I'm more into crime myself, but I also adore poetry: it's such an expressive medium, more so than prose in my opinion.

Do you have any hobbies or interests? I enjoy cycling, debating/public speaking and languages.

Good luck with your Lang/Lit studies; I'm starting AS English Literature next September!

Feel free to PM me if you want reviews, a heads-up or general direction-finding.

See you around!

Hello. I'm Brooke aka blacktiger. Nice to meet you Anna. How are you?

I hope you'll have a great time here and have a great time in college! I wish I was going now.... still in high school and 17 (birthday late) but it's my last year.

Anyway, I will look forward to reading your works and best wishes! Peace 8)

No, it's not that you didn't succeed. You accomplished a lot, but, if you want to touch people, don't concentrate so much on rhyme and metre. Think more about what you want to say instead of how you're saying it.
