My name is Elyssa, I'm a 21-year-old aspiring author and hoarder of nearly empty water bottles. I've been told that I'm "really something" — I'll leave it to you to figure out what that "something" is. *Devastated INKIE who will eventually get around to settling in here.

I have finally posted the first chapter of Origin. I’m not particularly happy with it, but I’m releasing it anyway so that I may force myself to move forward. The more time I spend tearing apart this one chapter, the less time I have to spend on actually finishing the writing part. Sometimes I suppose you just have to let go and forge ahead, so this is me doing just that in hopes that it will be helpful to the process. I haven’t written in third person since I was ten and wrote the Milly the Monkey Goes to… series, so Origin is basically me experimenting with that. I definitely prefer first person, but when I tried converting the first chapter into first person narration, it didn’t feel right. So for now, it shall stay as is. Also, I'm still kind of trying how to figure this site out since I'm not an entirely web-savvy person, so I'm sorry if any comments go unnoticed. I do have a Facebook author page, though, and I definitely won't miss any comments on there. So if you want to chat, feel free to do so! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Elyssa-Allen/227347817313274

@TrivStar Me too! It seems as though a lot of us ended up here instead of going to Figment. The whole debacle has really pulled us together more than we already were. :) @MizzWriter13@beautifully_me It's nice to meet you, fellow inkies. :D

Hey everyone! I'm just sort of testing out the broadcasting thing right now (which I love the idea... totally wish inkpop had this), since I haven't really explored Wattpad yet. My spring break begins on March tenth, so that's when I'll really dig into this site and probably post some pieces. I hopped on the bandwagon and made myself an author page on Facebook to keep people informed and stay connected with all of you who also have pages. If I haven't already "liked" yours and you have one, share it with me so that I can! I want to stay informed on what's next for all the amazing writers I've met through inkpop! And if you'd like to "like" my page, that would be swell. :) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Elyssa-Allen/227347817313274

@MapleCFreter I'm a little excited about it as well. It's really sad that we're losing Inkpop, though. I loved it there so much. @SoleilTheWriter Hey! :) @DreamCatcherInkie It's definitely going to take some time to get the hang of this site.
