WELCOME NEW MEMBERS!

ZephyrHero
From Brooklyn New York here and general fiction is my main genre for prose, but I rarely do some poetry. What inspires me to write, unlike most writers, is that I get my main inspiration from video games, mainly fighting games like Street Fighter and RPGs like Kingdom Hearts. A majority of my stories consist of anthropomorphic animals with various superhero abilities. The reason, my drive, my purpose, and my destiny to write is because I want to revive the world of Anthro-Superheroes that started with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and became dominate in cartoons of the 1990s, with shows like Biker Mice From Mars, SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron, and Road Rovers. I also dream to be an aspiring novelist with my first series of books still in development for the past 7-8 years now, with my favorite author being Brian Jacques who writes the Redwall series of books. When not writing, I'm always surfing the internet, playing video games, or listening to music which paints out various scenes from my superhero series.

Meganwayxo
Name: Megan
Country - USA
Writing - Fiction - Fan Fiction/Life Stories/Short Stories
Inspirations: I'm inspired by a lot of things, but mainly music and events that I go through or my friends go through.
Hopes: I hope to make my writing better. There's always room for improvement.
Other - Writing is my favorite thing to do. I do it daily. It really gets my emotions out, and it's my main hobby. I also like to do some photography. Occasionally I'll do some poetry as well.

KissMyLit
I live in the USA and write fiction, mostly in the contemporary fantasy genre.
As for what inspires me to write - My mom, who started reading me full length novels within days of my birth, my friend Mikey who brainstorms like crazy with me, and that strange, wonderful feeling I get when I read something really good that I don't even remember writing.
Currently I'm working on a novel that I'll start actually writing next month. Seeing that through all the way to the end will be my biggest writing accomplishment to date.
Other me facts - I was born in Montana and I'm going to move back... some day. I have a cat that was born without eyes and he makes me smile every single day. I think clothes are important but I believe that books > clothes.

Writing-soul
Hi I'm writing-soul. I’m from Australia and I'm 18 yrs old.
I do prose fiction writing mainly in the genres of fantasy, sci-fi and general fiction with a little romance thrown in. My characters tend to be sarcastic and have a very dry sense of humor.
I tend to be inspired by people I meet, ideas about the world or possibilities of other worlds, belief systems, family/friends, real life and love. I often get inspired by music, but mainly my ideas come from my own weird dreams and imaginings. I am currently writing a novel and have almost finished. I plan on getting published and becoming an author.
Aside from writing I also love reading, music, my guitar, dancing, acting, cars and driving, cycling and swimming.

Fly-to-the-top
I live in the United States. I write poetry, all sorts. I'm inspired to write by the people around me, music, and my own feelings. I hope to accomplish a feeling of fulfillment in my own writing.
I've had a hard life and offer advice to anyone who needs it. Or just to listen. Come if you'd like, I won't mind a bit. And I ask for nothing in return.

Varawdn
I'm April. I write mainly poetry with a little bit of fantasy fiction thrown in. I'm from the USA. I want to become a better writer, mostly with my story writing, although I wouldn't mind my poems getting better! And I get most of my ideas from my imagination and emotions. I like bouncing ideas off of some of my friends and between us we can come up with some pretty crazy things. I read a lot, and don't do much else. My birthday is in April, and yes, I've realized the similarities between the month and my name.

Tox2wallz
I live in the U.S. with my mother, and my psychotic dog Jack. I live in a small town, lots of my family lives here, though truth be told I’m getting a little sick of the place, we don't have any decent bookstores, no places to buy anime, and the only place where you can get a video game is over at block-buster.
I enjoy writing poetry, but not usually with a format (i.e. sonnets, ballads, etc.) usually I just end up putting some words together that rhyme and make sense, although I do enjoy haikus when I’m bored.
I write fiction, I hope to write novels and short stories, and hopefully get a story published at SOME POINT in my life.
I really get inspired when I go on trips outside of this small town o mine, also music, and any other rambling, shambling, sin against life of a thought that may roam into my head.
So far as hobbies go, I enjoy writing, obviously, reading books and/or manga, watching anime/TV in general, I doodle sometimes, but I just really can't draw that well.
I'm participating in NaNoWriMo all this month, so sorry if I’m a little too preoccupied to read/comment on anything.
I’ll be turning 16 next April.
I know I probably missed a lot of things I was going to tell you about myself, but I guess if anyone has a question they can just go right ahead and ask me.

Gothilia
My name is Kayla, but online I go by Raven. I live in the United States, and I mostly write poetry and song lyrics, but I like writing short stories too. Most of my writing is inspired by books or my own personal relationships (mostly with my boyfriend). I love animals and have a Golden Retriever of my own.

Purrrplcat
Known as purrrplcat here on DA, elsewhere on the web, I'm known as Crystal Clear Proofing. I'm a professional editor, offering proofreading and copyediting services.
I reside in the U.S., and accepted an invitation from Spunky Diane to join The Writers Meow to offer writing tips to club members. Although I'm more of a reader than writer, I have had a few short stories, (non-fiction) and poems published.
I enjoy gardening, (although it seems I have less time for it of late), volunteer work and recreational reading, as well as loving my job. I adore cats, and my own little furry, Frisky, is a constant source of love, comfort and joy.
I hope to be able to provide the members of The Writers Meow with helpful tips on writing and grammar in such a way that makes "learning" as painless as possible! I've recently adopted a kind of motto for my approach, that "Grammar "stuff" doesn't have to be stuffy."
Oh! And my birthday is in April. Ironically, (since it wasn't "planned") April's birthstone being the diamond has incorporated its way into being synonymous with my business, as my company motto is: "Crystal Clear Proofing will give your work the clarity of a diamond, ensuring that what you want to convey to the reader will be Crystal Clear." The shortened version of which is, "Give your work the clarity of a diamond, so your message will be Crystal Clear!"
I hope that the members of The Writers Meow find my tips to be helpful in their writing endeavors! Thank you Spunky for inviting me to be a part of your club, and congratulations on the club's recent anniversary!

SPECIAL MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR CLUB'S THIRD BIRTHDAY!

On November 7, the club turned 3 years old! Check out our DA news article- [link]

We would like YOUR fondest memory! What event here do you remember the best? What was the most fun? What contest or tip or whatever stands out as a fond memory of this club?
Leave a comment and we will post them all here in the journal!

What I remember most about this club is the wonderful writers I've met. And continue to meet.

I think the best memory was finding this club, because I needed guidance in my writers craft class and such, and just writing everyday and doing the exercises here really helped...and made me go onto a major in English! Thanks for all the support guys! This club is awesome.

I have to be honest and say I can't even remember how I found this place, but finding it, and the subsequent months of finding more and more writers on DA really is my fondest memory. I went for such a long time feeling like my work was getting ignored, and that DA neglected the lit community, and when I finally found the club, it was a doorway that let me into the lit community at large. Just because of that, TWM has a special place in my heart.

I have a ton of memories here.. from all the exercises, to the fabulous insight into the publishing world from Spunky and crew, to just getting my lit actualy looked at! Which is definitely somehting difficult around here!

All my memories of this club are quite fond; it's an encouraging place to grow as a writer.

I can't say that I have many memories of this place yet since I had joined not too long ago, but I know I will have wonderful memories in the future.
