I had just joined this forum in search of help on a book I have started to write.
I read the rules and will make some comments before submitting just wanted everyone to know I am a noobie here.
^_^ Well, welcome! I'm Hannah, and I'm relatively new here as well, but I'm enjoying my time here thoroughly! What kind of book are you writing and how far along are you? ^_^ Do you write anything else in your spare time?
I'd like to just point out two important rules that you should know!
1. Please minimize chatspeak! Some abbreviations are okay~
2. Please review two works posted by other members before posting any of your own! Try to keep this 2:1 ratio for the duration of your membership, making sure you review two works before posting anything new! ^_^
Now that that's out of the way... what are some of your favorite books or genres of books? What do you do to get inspired when you write? How long have you been writing? Tell us all a bit about yourself, please! ^_^
I am writing a crime novel, a private investigator links clues by relaying his train of thoughts off events that taken place in the book throughout the book. I just got about 1,500 words in before I stopped to get some input to see if I had something or not. I write songs, I am a musician of sorts. I love making songs and putting guitar riffs to them, bass riffs to the guitar riffs and throwing in some keyboard parts. I generate drums through a program and I make my own stuff. Nothing is ever complete because I always get busy. But I hope to make a full song soon.
Ah yes the rules hehe
I did read those so I did not offend anyone and I actually already replied to some.
Ill try my best to read and critique.
I love utopia books even though they sorta all the same. I listen to classical music to get inspired to do anything at all. I also draw, make paintings, graphic designs on the computer. Classical music is very calm and peaceful and it helps me think and when I write songs or this maybe soon to be novel I usually start at 12 and do not stop typing until 6.. 7 in the morning.. it all just pores out.
Song-writing is difficult, I admire you for being able to do that. Classical music is also lovely, so props to you!
Writing mysteries is challenging too. I wouldn't be able to deal with all the puzzles and plot-twists! My head would ache too much.
I know what you mean about writing in the early hours of the day. That's when writing comes best for me as well.

Thank you =] Ah yes! It is difficult but I think of it as a challenge that makes someone smarter for making puzzles and twist. Like watching one thing but something completely happened and the person who thought they won didn't. I love those types of plots.
I know. Plot twists are awesome. They make everything interesting. I'd like to see something that has over ten major twists in it. Of course, most anime are like that... So, welcome to YWS! I'm WaterVyper, but you can go ahead and call me whatever. And kudos to you! I dislike songwriting. Poetry is fine, but not song writing. I'm not sure why.
Anywho, that's great. What interests in movies do you have? I am almost completely ignorant about movies and actors and actresses, so I'm not the best person to ask about this stuff. Well, great to meet you! Feel free to PM me if you want a review, have a question, or just want to chat. See ya around!
There once was a cat. He wasn’t particularly fat. Fuzzy was his favorite mat. And really, that was that.
Oh, but did you really think so? Keep reading, it’s just the start of the show! And as for how far this tale will go… Well, even the cat doesn’t know.
Wow. Crime novel. I'm a fantasy person myself. I can't get enough myth and magic!
Methinks all writers hold strange hours. I usually don't start writing until about ten at night, and when I'm no a role I can go until three. But those days are few and far between. They usually only happen if I have physically unable to write for three days (no kidding. I went on vacation and didn't bring my laptop, didn't sleep the whole time, and was up until am hours just to get it all out).
I love classical! ^_^ Josh Groban is my favourite. His voice is just so... breathtaking.
Painting and drawing? I get into that sometimes. What's your favourite medium? I'm more an acrylics person, or get me a good set of coloured pencils and I'm happy. I love colour. I have a hard time doing anything without it. (As you might be able to tell.....)
If you need anything, feel free to PM me.

Welcome to the wacky world of YWS! Firstly, let me say that it's cool that you're writing a crime novel. I stick to fantasy because... well, that's my new comfort zone, i guess. I commend you. I try to write novels, but hey, I never finish them! I always start another story!
Song writer?! Holy cow! If someone ever asked me to write a song to save my life... let's just say it would be a sad story if people asked how I died. I'm wretched at any sort of poetry...
So, since Hannah has already told you the two rules, follow them, and sicne you've already read some of the rules, stick to them. I'm sure you'll meet some crazy and great people on here, and if you ever want a critique, I'm sure I'll give it a go.
Welcome again.
LaReina!
