Just a Little Bit About Me

  1. So I'm new, I really like making friends and writing. In fact this is where most of my poems and short stories will be. Only because I want certain people to read it.

    Also I love taking pictures of scenery and people. Sometimes even ideas. Most scenery and myself though. Yes I LOVE taking pictures of myself. I am very vain. Infact I probably have over a thousand pictures of myself. The only sad part about it is that I take really great and beautiful pictures of myself, but I still say that I am not beautiful.

    Besides my writing and pictures, I have depression. My depression controls my life. Sometimes it doesn't show, but other times I'm so depressed that you'd think I was in the most horrible situation ever. But do not fear, because all I really need is someone to write a poem with me and maybe a small hug and I should be a little bit better.

    That's another thing. I love writing poetry with people. Sometimes when I am stumped on what to write about I ask a friend to start a poem and I channel in the feelings from that first verse and I add in what I am feeling. It really gets me thinking. I believe when I do this my poetry is enhanced times 100.

    Poetry is my number one line of defense against depression. But lately I have had so much on my plate that I am overwhelmed and can't write at all. But like I said, writing with a friend helps me find my creative juices again.

    So besides writing with friends, I love to game. I am a gamer. Haha, if you play Pokemon, prepare to be defeated because I am QUEEN at it. I have level 100s and level 70s, 80s, 90s, 60s, 50s and well all levels really. I have beat the elite four so many times. :p Maybe we can game together sometime? :D

    So that is pretty much it about me. I am petite, down to earth, selfishly selfless. I love everyone and I can be your next best friend forever. Message me!

    Hello Natalie, Welcome to the Creative Writing Forums.

    Please read How to Use the Writing Workshop before you post there. Posting your own writing for people to comment on should not be among the very first things you do here. It is worth taking the time to see what other people have done to improve their writing, and see if some of it applies to your writing as well. That is part of why we require members to review other members' work before posting their own for review. On the other hand, there are no restrictions, other than content and copyright rules, on showcasing your work in your member blog.

    Also, be aware that posting a piece of writing on any public site, including this one, will greatly diminish your chances of selling it for publication. Removing the writing later does not alter that fact - once posted, it is irreversibly considered published. So do not post anything more than a small excerpt of any piece you are planning to submit for publication.

    If you haven't explored the site yet, you should probably do so soon. Newcomers often gravitate to the Lounge, the Word Games, or the Writing Workshop, but there is much more to be discovered if you poke in the corners. Remember to check out our FAQ as well, and be sure to read through the forum rules, too, to avoid any misunderstandings or hurt feelings. Respect for one another is our principal mandate.

    As for the Writing Workshop, new joiners often wonder why we do things a bit differently on this site than on other writing sites. We emphasize constructive critique as a vital writing skill. Training your eye by reviewing other people's work helps you improve your own writing even before you present it for others to see. Therefore, we ask members to review other people's writing before posting work of their own. We also impose a two-week waiting period before you may post writing for critique, to give you time to become familiar with what is expected and how the site operates. The Writing Workshop forums on this site, therefore, are true workshops, not just a bulletin board for displaying your work (and on that note, please only post each item for review in one Writing Workshop forum). Also, please use the same thread for all revisions and additional excerpts from the same piece of writing. See this post, Why Write Reviews Before Posting My Work? for more information.

    And while you're looking around, don't forget to check out the RPG forum for improvisational fiction. Also try our Weekly Short Story Contest and Weekly Poetry Contest. They actually run more than one week apiece, but any member may enter, and all members are urged to vote for their favorites.

    Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!

    Hey, Natalie! I'm Bayleigh. Welcome. Good to see that you write poetry. Poetry is my favorite thing to do write, and it's definitely a great coping mechanism. I also know what it's like not to write because there's just too much going on. I took a two year hiatus from writing once. Just recently started again a few months ago, actually. Anyway, I'm always looking to make new friends, too. So you can message me if you'd like. Have fun here! :)

    Nice introduction. It's great that poetry is helping you with your depression. I rarely write poetry, but if you ever need someone to write poetry with, then I'd be willing to. :)

    Hope you enjoy the forum.
