Hi everyone. I'm Charlie, or Creaking Silence. Whichever you prefer. I've been writing a lot since I was a kid. Lately, I have started a novel (or novella, depending on how long the book is) called Veronica. It's a Sci-Fi book about two men that inspect ruins of a crashed aeroship, and they meet aliens. Yeah, it sounds kind of cheesy when I state it that way, but oh well. I really like it.

I've always wanted to be part of a writer's group. It always seemed like so much fun to be able to talk about grammar, plot and ideas and not have other people say, "You're such a geek, Charlie!" It gets quite annoying, really.

I don't know what to talk about anymore, so I'm just gonna sign off. Bye everyone!

It's best to read all rules first before doing anything. Just to let you know.

Well,
See ya,

Excuse me, geek is a compliment. :P


Welcome to the site, Charlie! If you have any questions or need help finding something around the site, feel free to pm me. You'll find YWS is perfect for discussing all those things! So I really hope you enjoy it. You write sci-fi? Do you write anything else, or just that?

Oh! And since you're working on a novel, you might want to join The Novelists usergroup.

Ambercoultis - Thanks for the greetings. I've read through all of the rules, and such. I'm having a blast so far.

Blacktiger3915 - Haha. I've just posted the first part of Veronica, if you'd like to take a look. Thanks for greeting me.

Suzanne - I write a little bit of everything, really. Except poetry. I can't write that worth my life. My current novel(la) is called Veronica. It's Sci-Fi. I've never worked with the genre, but it is really fun so far.

Thank you all!

This is the third time I've attempted to post a welcome for you. First time I accidentally hit the back button, second time I X'd out of another page and it X'd out YWS as well. Obviously there is some higher power who doesn't want you to get a gift. So I am going to very quickly say welcome, your avatar's pretty, and my gift-giving robot doesn't like you because he also happens to be named Charlie. He's a brat sometimes. Just ignore him.

Now, here's your gift, before a mysterious virus takes over my computer and prevents me from giving you one. :D :) :( :o :shock: :? 8) :lol: :x :P :oops: :cry: :evil: :twisted: :roll: :wink: :!: :?: :idea: :arrow: :| :mrgreen: :elephant: :thud: :smt006 :smt035 :smt036 :smt026 :smt016 :smt024 :smt029 :smt027 :smt034 :smt031 :smt020 :smt032 :smt069 :smt038 :smt034 :smt116 :smt084 :smt044

Hi there, Charlie!

Welcome to YWS! I go by Demeter, which is quite obvious, I think. Some people call me also D, Dem, or Meter. Sometimes even Metre. :D

You've already given that much reviews, that's great! Reviewing is an important part of being a YWSer, and you'll get points, which are an important part of posting one's own work. You might also want to check out the About section, for there are lots of helpful stuff for new ones! :)

In here, you'll find plenty of people to talk about grammar with you! :D This is quite a large community, so you can basically talk about anything here.

Have a superb time here in YWS and PM me if there are any problems!

See you around,
Demeter xx

Hey there Charlie!

Welcome from England! I'm Gahks (that's pronounced 'garks'); nice to see you!

Thanks for reviewing some of my poems already; it's good to see newbies getting into the critiquing spirit so quickly!

From your plotline for "Veronica," it sounds as though you like Sci-Fi - am I right? I prefer crime myself, but I would love to see some poetry if you have written any. Do you have any hobbies or interests? I enjoy cycling, public speaking and languages.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

See you around!
