I was looking for a site that I could post up my stories, and that I could also get feedback on them. So I went on to google and searched "writing sites."
I had it up to here *raises hand to sky* with the attitude people had towards younger writers on othe numerous writing sites. So I decided to stop moaning and do something about it, and so I googled 'Young Writers Forum' and viola! I got transported to this magically accepting place
I found this place through a middle user (.:Elf:.). The site I was on had a very active story section, and when NaNo came up I was the official bugger of the site for people who were doing it. When I decided I wanted a new site to hand out I remembered her getting the NaNo description from here. It looked like fun, so I joined.
A writer is a world trapped in a person— Victor Hugo
Ink is blood. Paper is bandages. The wounded press books to their heart to know they're not alone.
It was complete luck for me. I finally gathered up the gumption to post some of my writing online so I typed in some search words into to google and now, here I am. Get used to it.
I was looking around last year for tips on writing. You USE to have a page for that, but not anymore. I finally decided to make one two days ago
"We rest-A dream has power to poison sleep;
We rise-One wandering thought pollutes the day;
We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away:"
(Mutability, Shelley)
I will never let you fall,
I will stand up for you forever.
I will be there for you through it all,
Even if saving you sends me in heaven.

I was a regular on fanfiction.net but decided I wanted to be able to find a website where I could discuss my own works and ideas.
And, wa-la! A friend of mine on the site recommended YWS, and here I am
...Bitter cold, it grows changing holds cynicism the new norm... -Libretto
I used google as it seems many other people did too. I was searching for places to post your writing online and have other teens "critique" it. I found it.
I don't know how many of you have used the Stumble Upon utility, which I got for my Firefox 3 browser. After it had seen what sights I liked to visit, it recommended YWS to me. This is so far the best thing that Stumble Upon has ever recommended me. In fact, I now encourage people to use Stumble Upon, as it was so accurate in its assessment of me.
More than anything she wanted the world to be uncomplicated, for right and wrong to be as easily divided as the black and white sections of an Oreo. But the world was not a cookie. — Roshani Chokshi, Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes
