Heeeeello, writers and readers alike! I'm Myron, and, I am yet another new member putting my name on a list to be greeted and welcomed. I am certainly a writer, but I briefly set aside my writing pursuits to pursue music and other interests. Now I am again returning to my native shores, so to speak, and putting my full effort back into writing. Unfortunately, amateur that I am, I have not a single novel or full-length work to my name. Just an accumulation of essays (theological mainly, school related), a plethora of short-stories, and a handful of poems. I look forward to posting some of my work, and hopefully beginning work on some larger projects. I also look forward to being able to read and comment on the work of other writers. Overall, this seems like a great resource. I thank God for the gift of good writing, and I hope I can glorify Him in honing my writing skills.

Please pardon the long monologue (it shan't be the last), but I suppose I'll mention some of the writing I enjoy.
Personally, I prefer books which are full of pure, raw writing quality. The content, as important as it is, ought to be matched by the skill of the story-telling. So, I like to focus on character development, smooth, concise phrasing, and cohesive storylines more than crowd-pleasers, like romance or battle-scenes. I am very interested in historical fiction, and mystery too, I think. I like a good fantasy every now and then, too. Really, the genre matters less than the quality. So, anyhow, I am finished babbling by now. I look forward to reading and writing with you!

Welcome to YWS!

Hello, I'm Kiss.

If you have any questions or concerns feel free to PM me, or any of the other greeters (we are the ones with light blue names)

We have a 2:1 policy here at YWS. Meaning you have to have at least 2 reviews for every one story or poem that you post.

You also get points for every review, welcome a new member, or post in the group forums. You actually came at a very good time because everyone's points just got reset back to 300, and if you have the top user points by next month, you have a shot at being featured member of the month. This month's member was Alwaysawriter, so if your interested you may want to contact her, shes very nice :)


There is tons to do here. There's the community forums (which I see you've found without problem:D)and we also have blogs.

We also have a chat, which you can find on the home page. (It's opened by Moderators, the people with dark, or light green names, so there isn't much of a schedule to it)

Pretty much everyone is friendly and helpful here, but if you do have any problems with anyone contact a moderator (preferably a moderator with a dark green name). Believe me, the situation will be handled, bullying is completely unacceptable here at YWS.

Hope you have fun!
Yeah, Teachers are great.

Can I have an A?
