Martian Invasion!

It's time for creativity! Are you in need of some strange idea? Do you think you lack a bit of motivation to create? How about figurative language; have you used them to your advantage? No? Well that must mean you need to be abducted! Not by dangerous aliens from outer space, but by the Poetry Crew's out-of-this-world Martians Invade March Poetshop!

The Martian themed poetry workshop will commence on March 23 and 24 at different times. Audy, one of the workshop supervisors plans the workshop to also include discussions and even prizes at the end. For clearer schedules, refer to the link above.

The workshop will focus on creating unique and memorable metaphors when writing poetry. Join now! Only one session left!

A Moment of Spring!
This month of beginnings, hear tips and experiences from our own YWS writers about writing and, well, beginnings!!

Do you know who our current featured member is? Why, you're right! It's KylaThompson! Not only did our guest commended on being a featured one, but she's also a figure of fresh starts and new opportunities, all of which she took!

Dogs: How does it feel getting the "Featured Member" award? If at all, how does this inspire you in the YWS neighborhood?

KylaThompson: It feels awesome getting to be featured because I usually don't get recognized for much, so it really makes me happy. It makes me want to be featured again, that to me would mean I'm helping out even more.

Dogs: As clearly being a key role model in YWS, what would you suggest to new members and how they can aspire to be a great member in YWS?

KylaThompson: I would tell any newcomer that we are here to help each other and don't be discouraged if someone criticizes you, it's only to make you better.

Dogs: If you could please talk briefly on how become the "Featured Member" has affected, if at all, your YWS experience?

KylaThompson: I really like helping people with writing, seeing as how I love writing so much. I would like to help any new YWS member anyway I can seeing as how I started out.

As Kyla has already stated, she strives to continue her wonderful work and perhaps be featured again in the future with her hard work. Give it up for our wonderful interviewee, the lovely KylaThompson! On behalf of YWS, we commend and congratulate you and you're excellent work.

Wait for more of A Moment of Spring at this week's Squills!

Thank you very much, my dear friend @dogs. I couldn't do it without my company. :)

Featured Club of the Day:

The YWS Library

Looking to read a completed novel? Finally succeeded in completing your novel and would like opinions on it? Well, here's the club for you! The YWS Library, created by Dragongirl, is a club where you'll find links to finished novels, and can get opinions on your (completed) novel by posting a link to it! So head on over to this club for a good long read, or a bit of shameless promotion!

Latest Club:

Sherlock Holmes Fans

Calling all Sherlockians! Here's a club where you can discuss anything and everything about the incredible detective, be it the one from the movies, or the TV Show. You can also share your ideas for fanfiction, or receive opinions on your fanfiction!
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest.
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time.
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus.
If I were to pluck on your heart strings would you strum on mine?

~Plant Life, Owl City








Oh no, I’m sorry, you’re under the impression that here on YWS we *help* writers instead of just feeding their gremlin tendencies.
