Young Writers Society

The Candyman is here. My sister was the one that put me here to help with stuff but also because I thought it would be fun. I like music and old films and some new films as well. I play the piano and I like the Hunger Games books (but not the film) and I like Fantasy books. I am a bit like my sister in a lot of ways but not all of them.

Hi there, Candyman! I'm Searria, but most people call me "Sea."
Welcome to YWS! I hope you enjoy your stay here. We have a lovely community here and ever member wants to help you in any way he/she can. If you ever have any questions, feel free to contact me either through a private message or a note on my profile. The people who are in green are moderators, and they can answer any question about the site.
(On a side-note, the candyman song from "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" has been running through my head as I'm writing this.)
So now for some very important questions. *nods seriously*
1) What's your favourite movie?
2) What genre do you usually write?
3) Poetry or prose?
4) What's your favourite food?
5) Favourite colour?
6) Favourite animal?

I look forward to seeing you around. If you ever want a review on anything in particular, feel free to ask. Happy writing!

Hello! Since I don't have any of those star things (and am scared to use full reply after clicking on it. Too many options! Too confusing!), you probably guessed that I am new here. Umm, let's see here. My name is Heidi, I turned 14 last week (exactly!), I am a Christian (I AM SECOND!), and I love writing (but of course, that's why we're all here!)! Usually, I get a really good plot stuck in my head, but when I'm about 5-10 pages in, a bunch of new ones start crowding it out. Another big issue (besides my self-diagnosed ADD) is my procrastination. Ex. I was told about this website a month ago; I'm just now on it.
Besides writing novels and poetry, I also write songs! I love piano, and although I am not very far along book-wise, I think I am good enough to suite myself. My music tastes cover basically every genre. Right now, I'm into Kanon Wakeshima and Avenue Q, but my all-time favorite band is Newsboys! I was lucky enough to be able to go to one of their amazingly awesome concerts this year!
Okay, enough with the blah, blah, blah. I'm really here because I have no clue how this site works! (Then again, I got this far. Ah, self, stop contradicting me!) So, I need someone to tell me how all of this works.
