NO CLASS TONIGHT because of the holiday (more)


I should have thought to mention it last week, but sometimes my mind isn't working that far ahead, LOL. Anyway, we will do synopsis writing next week!

Hope you all have a great Memorial Day Weekend!

May exercise...Facing the Inevitable


Hi, I'm new here...


Hi, I'm sixteen and I love to write. I write all the time about things that I didn't even know were in my head. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I can't go back to sleep until I write whatever's on my mind; be in one page or twenty. I've been to "teen forums" and tried to find things for writer's but none of them had anything constructive to say, so I am very excited about this and being able to talk to other writers.


New here so excited about May excercise


Hi I'm new here. This is such a great idea. I love that I can find critiques for my work. I hope I can encourage you as well. Here goes the May excercise.

I'm new here... hoping to get a "jump start" on my writing skills. So what do I do first?


I have started about a dozen stories that I've never finished... I like writing but am much more of a "scene" person that a "plot" person. I think I just like to WRITE, lol... not sure how important getting published really is to me, ya know?

C ya!

I have played the scene out so many times in my head. The image has become as familiar as any scene from one of my favourite movies.

Picture this.
