Young Writers Society

Hello, everyone! I'm not even going to try to be creative with this. I don't know what to say or where to begin. I write nonfiction, and hope to be an editor someday. I like photojournalism, travel, history, historical fiction, and writing poetry when it comes naturally. I can't just sit down and write a poem. I dabble in fanfiction but that's only to close plot holes and network with other fans, really, so I don't count that.

I don't watch much television or many movies. My favorite television shows include sitcoms such as Seinfeld and The King of Queens, Lost, and CNN and MSNBC. The best movies are Disney movies, specifically The Lion King, Mulan, Tarzan, and most others. I like the new Disney-Pixar movies as well. My favorite "adult" movies are A History of Violence, Secretary, Carrie, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Almost Famous.

I love historical fiction. Gail Tsukiyama and Amy Tan are two amazing Asian-American authors, and I've never read anything by either of them that I didn't like. Khaled Hosseini is great, too. A Thousand Splendid Suns may be the best book I've ever read. The Shepherd of the Hills, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings trilogy are some of my other favorites.

I like music, too, but I'm getting a bit long-winded so I'll just say that I love lots of different groups and artists but Queen is my favorite.

Thank you for reading!

Hey Monarch!

Welcome I think casey covered all the rule-type stuff so I wont bother boring you with it again.

I love Disney as well haha all my friends think I'm crazy but it's the kind of think I watch when I feel sad or stressed. It's very uplifting I find I also loved the Lord of the Rings books and films.

If you like historical fiction have you ever read Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie? It's not a book set in Medievel times or anything like that but it's about the civil war in Nigeria in the 60's. Try it you might like it

Also- books by Phillipa Gregory are very good. I'd recommend The Other Boleyn Girl

Ignore me if you've already read these but if you have let me know what you thought!

I hope you like it here! If you have any questions or just feel like a chat or want something reviewed please PM me and I'd be happy to!

Sofi.

I've had both of these on my "to read" list, but due to my library system's limited selection and the popularity of The Other Boleyn Girl (thanks to the movie) I haven't been able to get my hands on either of them. I may end up *gasp* buying them.

And I'm sorry I didn't read the rules before posting! I usually do.
