I suppose I should start. I'm Clockwork Lime, aka Limey. I've suffered from chronic major depression since I was 12, and finally found the cajones to get help when I was 17. I've been in treatment (meds and therapy) ever since, and it's been getting better all the time, as the saying goes.
When I was a sophomore in college, I started a biweekly column in my local paper on depression and mental illness (which later expanded to include domestic violence awareness and prevention as well), which is when I realized that I wanted to help others in my situation. Not because I want fame or any of that happy crap, but because I know how much it sucks to wake up afraid you're going to live.
On a happier note, I have a penchant for tekteking, Lolcats, dark humor of all manners (love me some dead baby jokes) and pithy pop culture references. I've wanted to start a guild for ages but wasn't sure what it should be about; no-brainer, right?
Anyway, I'll quit my yammering now. <3 Hope to see you all soon!

Hello, I am David C. I am currently on facebook and the TT forum, waiting for someone to log on so I can explain what happened this evening. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that he's going to log on today.
I am a guy, play tennis, a sophomore, 15, in south California, and forever seek companionship. My weakness is that I have little social skills, I look to the past too often, I can't observe myself and see what I'm doing. My strengths are that I am extremely vigil, don't let much get to my head, and I am extremely dedicated to whatever I want to do.

Fab! Welcome aboard.
I think we all suffer from some lack of social skills at one point or another, and it gets better as you get older (for the most part). Anyway, I hope to see you around the guild!

Hey! My name is Anjel and I am currently a writer/advisor/photographer/anything I want to be.....yes I have commitment issues when it come down to what I want to do. On the good side I am never bored! I have written for random magazines, blogs and other fun stuff. I make and sell printed work on t-shirts,which allows me to be my own boss. I love philosophy, phycology, mythology, and anything in a spiritual feild. When it comes to random acts of life, I probably am the first to try to understand it then if it doesn't happen to me, I try to find others who have experienced what I have not. My life is mainly based on dreams and whatever the hell I feel like doing. Got a question and need an outside thinker?I'm a good bet!

Which is a huge part of why I invited you--I saw your posts in LI and went, "Wow, she's really on top of s**t, and she's not rude or anything--AWESOME!" Haha. So, are you self-employed? I'd love to be able to do random things, a different thing every day; maybe once I graduate, haha.

Ha, you'll get used to them in time. I have the whole brain-to-mouth thing going, so I'm in the business of saying what I think (for the most part). I used to love art, but I hated the art dept. at my college so I switched to English...and now everyone asks if I want to be a teacher. gonk

I guess I'll go next --> my names Meep_6 I prefer Meep, I was diagnosed with ADD when i was maybe about 5 years old because I couldn't spell 'cat', I remember my mom being very upset when they told her about it but I never let it keep me down, I refused to let the teacher's make things easier for me, I wanted to have to do the same type of work as everyone else and I did. I always say that my ADD does not make me anything less than anybody else and I will always stick by that. In the end through my High School life my grade point average staid at a 3.5 or above.
When I was around 15 about I was also diagnosed with Depression, and about most the time I am happy go lucky I do have my moments where I get severely depressed.
I also have several different problem’s that seem to come up every time I go to the doctors they call me 'obese' because I'm big even though I love how I look. I can't have children because there are cysts in my ovary’s the doctor’s call it Ovarian Cysts. I'm only 18 years old and quit honestly I don't ever think there's something wrong with me.

BLECH!" I just don't have the patience for it. I'm mostly keeping the job to get editing experience, though that's not my thing, either. What I'd really love to do is write fiction for a living, but I'm in a comm. internship doing PR writing at the moment. Not bad, but not what I want to do for the rest of my life, you know? Ooh, comm majors tend to be a party in a box! At least, the ones I know are. I adore crazy people who say outlandish things. =D

How'd you find a good publisher? I wrote a novella when I was 19 and have a crapload of short stories sitting around waiting to be compiled into an anthology-type thing, but I can't find a publisher.
