Young Writers Society

Anyway, I'm new to the site but at first glimps I thought this place looked pretty amazing.

So, I suppose I should say a little something about myself here too, huh?

Well, my name is Lily and I'm a high school sophmore (which is soo totally not fun) and I live in a very small town, being about the only teenager there besides my sometimes there/sometimes not there boyfriend.

Uh, I started writing when I was about 6, but even then, I realized I was pretty bad and needed work (I over use my pronouns sometimes) so I worked on it. Anyway, it wasn't until recently that I believed myself improved enought to go sorta-kinda public with my work.

Anymore questions then just ask I guess.

Hello, Lily!

Welcome to the greatest site ever! Happy to have you aboard. Yep, YWS is pretty amazing.

Wow, you've been writing for a long time! That's great! And you can't really suppose that 6-year-old would be ready writer, can you? It's good that you found your way here, because here improving is even easier, the people really know what they do when they review pieces.

Hmm. It'd be good to read the rules and guidelines and whatnot, you'll find them in the Help and Support section. Also, we basically have two rules over others (besides behaving well): you should do two reviews toward every story/poem you post, so you won't be using YWS just to get your own stuff posted without helping others. Another rule is that you mustn't use chat-speak, because it drives every proper writer crazy and this is a writers' site, after all. We do't want to get any crazier than this!

Well, if you feel like you need a review or just want to talk or have questions, just PM me. I'll be glad to help you out!

See you around!

Lily-
First off, I really love your name. It's so cute. (Yes, I'm in one of those "cute" phases)

Hi. Welcome to the family of all sorts of writers. I hope you have a wonderful time here. To me, this is like a second home. You'll meet lots of friends and have loads of fun.

People here are really honest when they critique your writing piece. It's helpful, so you can improve.

Well, remember the ratio of reviews and posting. It's two reviews on someone Else's work then one post of yours. In simple terms, 2:1 ratio. Keep to that, and the ride will go very smoothly. Otherwise, check out the Help and Support tab. Rules to follow, staff to contact, FAQ and much more.

Awww. I remember the days of my sophomore year. Yet, I rather not say. It was one of those years in high school that I absolutely hated. So I can relate if you're not having fun, at all.

Anyway, what do you like to write? A little poetry here? A little fiction there? Both? Any genres that you love to write about? For me, it all depends on the mood I'm in. I can be this or that and it all comes out in a story.

Well, it was great to know a little about you, Lily. If you have any more questions about YWS or just feel like chatting, you can always pm me.

Ha, I've been going through that "cute" phase since, well, almost forever.


Okay, I'm starting too see a pattern here with the 2:1 ratio thing. I've also got a feeling if I don't follow it, its off with my head. : )


About the sophomore thing, well, its not that I'm not having fun, its just that I'm slowly loosing my mind. Oh well, its bound to happen to us all eventually.


And for the most part, I find I'm fond of writing fantasy/romance sorts of things. Mostly, unreal characters in unreal places managing to find unimaginable love. *sniff sniff*


Well, yeah, like I said, just ask me questions, please. I like answering them.

Maybe not off with your head Blood's too messy!

And ick, sophomore year was an interesting year for me, too. Not bad, exactly, just one I could have done without, too.

Fantasy and romance, eh? Have any favorite books that fall under that heading?

Oh yeah! Welcome to YWS! And if you have questions, you can ask me, too!

Welcome! Hope you love this place. I have. How long has it been since I joined? One day? Two days? Seems like I'm living great.

Hope the others haven't scared you off with the rules. It's not so strict around here, as you'll find (Yes! I got to say that first!).

I love writing fantasy. Romance isn't my type, since I'm a boy. Just love hanging out in other worlds and such.

I'm not even a sophomore and you're scaring me already. Freshmen friday...

So... Hope you love this place, blah blah blah, stay forever, and have fun!

(You can PM me for whatever, so do it anytime. Just one thing: I'm not a YWS genious, so I can't answer all your YWS questions. Post your work, PM me!)

Well, uh, HI everyone. Jeeze, the welcomes are definately warm around here. Uh, well I guess my favorite book at this very moment is "The Witching Hour" by Anne Rice (she's like my idol) but I just started reading "Bloodsucking Fiend" by Christopher Moore this afternoon once I was done with my black friday shopping.

Ooo, so you did post a welcome onto the site Lily. Nice to see that your a fantasy writer. Just curious though, why did you decide to take part in fantasy/romance? Any particular fantasy authors that you like?

It also kind of nice that you are the only teenager in the town. It really gives you that initiative to be a role model for the the little ones (even though they may be a bit of a trouble at times lol). But doesn't it get lonely having no one around your age to talk to?

It's nice that you've started writing at an early age. I wished I had, I had missed out on quite a lot lol. I've started two years ago because some of my friends were doing it. Being the serious person that I am, I wanted to improve my skills so I sought an online writing site. Bam! Two years later, I'm typing this up lol.

You have quite a voice in your writing, and I hope to see more of your works on the site. And here's another welcome to the site.

Andy.

Hey,

Welcome to the family.

First of all the main rule here is to post 2 reviews before you post 1 of your work and to maintain that ration.

and for the other rules, you can look them up under the Help and Suppot Wiki at the Top on the right corner.

so, tell us about yourself. what type of book do you like? What genre do you like? etc.

Me, I like Romance and I write romance fiction.

well, see ya around. if you need something, give me a holla

Hi, nice to meet you. ^_^ I like your name, too.

Hey,
I have trouble with my writing too!,
My pieces always seem to lack emotion.
so I really need to work on that.But anyway, welcome!
