I think you have medium brown skin, with black hair and light brown eyes.

Definitely blonde hair, white skin.... light blue eyes, no freckles though. Hair is really long.
You're super tall.....
I'm pretty much describing an Abi that goes to my school!

[Abi, Member Thread Moderator]

Sushi, Watermelonduck, you guys are WAY off. Nova's the closest. except I have wavy brown hair. There are so many Abis that go to my school! There were more in my old school though. In my 1st or 2nd grade class, there were like, 7 Abis in a class of 28!!!

[Sushie || "To gain your voice, you must forget about having it heard" -William Ginsberg]

Actually, I was pretty much describing every Abi I know...
I always imagine Abby's/Abi's as tall, long haired blondes

[Nova]

Wow.

[Sushie || "To gain your voice, you must forget about having it heard" -William Ginsberg]

EXEPT ONE! There was this one Abby who had R E D hair! Not blonde! But she was tall...

Nooo. I am short. 5 foot. Huh, I'm like the opposite of every Abi you guys know!

[Sushie || "To gain your voice, you must forget about having it heard" -William Ginsberg]

It is weird... But I like that! I used to think e v e r y Abby/Abi was blonde... I WAS WRONG!

[Nova]

I’ve never met an Abi or Abby in my life.

[Sushie || "To gain your voice, you must forget about having it heard" -William Ginsberg]

Really? I know... like.... 10

[Abi, Member Thread Moderator]

What!?!?!?!?

[Sushie || "To gain your voice, you must forget about having it heard" -William Ginsberg]

Yeah... I guess Abby's/Abi's are really popular in Utah!

[Ella]

Oh. There's only 1 in my grade. She's.... different from what you discribed. Nothing like me.

[Maynerd]

Hi everyone, I'm Maynerd. You can call me May. Or Goat.
I've been writing since a very young age, but writing very inconsistently so I don't have many completed pieces I can show anyone lol.
I used to write fantasy at some point in my teenage but I'm currently much more interested in creative non-fiction.

I hope we can help motivate each other to keep writing! (Disclaimer: Motivating me to write could occasionally involve last-resort drastic measures).

[Abi, Member Thread Moderator]

Welcome May!

[Ella]

Hi May! I also have been writing for a while. When I was little, I would take a book, sit on a couch, and made up a story out loud.

[Sushie || "To gain your voice, you must forget about having it heard" -William Ginsberg]

Hi May! Nice to meet you, and welcome to this group! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Helloo0o0o0o!

My name is ______, but you can call me Potatos. I mainly write fanfictions and fantasy, and I have a bad habit of killing off my main character in the middle of the story. I have a very short attention span, but I'm - Ooh, shiny!

My favorite color is ultraviolet.

[Penny, Creative Writing and Together Moderator]

POTATOS!!! YOU CAME??!?! yessss;)

[dagger [ain't that a kick in the head]]

Yessssssss, I came!!!!

[Sushie || "To gain your voice, you must forget about having it heard" -William Ginsberg]

Welcome, K!

[Raluca]

Hi guys! My name is Raluca, Ralu for short. I live in Romania. I've been writing stuff since high school but I'd always start an idea and never finish it. Then I started writing a lot of 1-3 journal pages of stories, character portraits and what not. I'd just get this sudden idea and feel the need to put it down. I write by hand a lot, which makes it so much more frustrating once I need to transcribe it. Anyways, last year I decided to try and finish stories. I wrote some really short ones, I started writing bigger ones and then the last one I finished has 15000 words. I guess I am working my way up to a novel. I've never been able to follow structure; when I write it's mostly like my hand writes independently of my head and that presents problems with plot and many other parts, so I want to work on creating structures so that I can develop my stories with more plot and characters. Only my friends have read what I wrote so far, which isn't much. I'd be happy to find buddies with whom I can exchange stories, ideas, tips, etc.

[Sushie || "To gain your voice, you must forget about having it heard" -William Ginsberg]

Hi Ralu!
