Young Writers Society

Yeah, so I'm new. Me & my friend discovered this today and got pretty excited. We're both doing NaNoWriMo and so when we found this site we were very happy.

So anyways, I'm Mikkah, also known as Rebecca or various other usernames on various other sites.

I'm not entirely sure what I should be putting here - I'm just really amused by this site and hope I can have a bit of fun here like everyone else. =)

Hey Mikkah! Welcome to the YWS family!

So what are your favorite things to write? Personally, I am a huge sucker for poetry, and I love to write it.. I'm not much good at writing anything else though..

What about favorite book series? I love Agatha Christie and Jane Austin... Those two are geniuses!!!

On YWS, we all share a common pet peeve.. It is when members use chat talk.. You know, like lol, ttyl, rofl, brb, and omg.. We are a sophisticated writing site, and we will use good grammar in our posts, although, the occasional 'lol' doesn't do any harm

I can't wait to see more posts from you, and pm me if you want me to review any of your work! I would be happy to oblige!

Thanks for the welcome. =) I'll keep to the 2:1 ratio, don't worry. [I've seen it mentioned in other threads while browsing around already].

I'm not much of a fan of poetry myself, but I'm trying to get better at it in general. I prefer short stories, I find them much easier to write.

I find chat talk quite annoying myself, so I'll be avoiding using it. Good grammar, most definitely. (On a site with writers, I wouldn't really expect anything else.)

Thanks for the offer of a review, Emma, much appreciated. Now I've got to get around to writing something worth reviewing and reviewing other stuff. :3

Welcome Mikkah!
I'm fairly fresh off the rack too.
Tell us about yourself! What do you like writing? I most definately enjoy historical/fantasy/fiction.
I'd be up to the challenge of reading & reviewing a manuscript of yours.
If you need anything, look no further than me. As mentioned, I'm a cheerful person and don't mind being asked to do things that are possible
I like the way you write and receive compliments, it's very 'grande'
Hopefuly see you around the forum!

Welcome aboard the insane site *coughs* I mean YWS!
Glad to see that you have checked out the site and found it to your taste.
I know that it improved my writing, and even got me into poetry. You can the difference between the poetry I first wrote and the ones now.
I also love writing short stories.
Just check out the rules and you'll be doing great.
If you have any questions or want a review, PM me.
Good luck with Nano.

Hi, Mikkah/Rebecca!

Welcome to YWS! Nice to meet you, I'm Demeter. Isn't YWS just great? There's, however, a danger to become addicted, so I suggest you... come to YWS every day and spend all your free time here! Yay! Let's get addicted!

I mean you. I already am.

Well, I hope you enjoy your time here. You can PM me anytime you want a review or have a question or just want to talk. I'm always here. See? That's called addiction. Haha. Almost always, let's say. When I'm not sleeping. [/ramble]

See you around!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. =)

I like writing fantasy or fiction, mostly, although I wouldn't mind expanding to a few other genres - most of my writing ends up seeming the same to me, so I'm going to try writing a few different things. (My friend complains that all my main characters act the same. ><)

Don't worry; I'm sure I'll get addicted soon enough. I'm already sneaking onto it during school, so I think I might be on the right track. ; )

Nice to meet you all; it's great that the people here are so nice. =) I hope I'll see a few of you around.

Haha; you're definitely on the right track!

I'll have to have a look out for that book then: it's becoming difficult not to create Adrian-esque male characters. -______-;
