I got it from a friend. We are both writing stories and she tells me that she is submitting her work at "Young Writers" so I try to type in the browser, when I got home, www.youngwriters.com but then I find out that I am wrong so I type it to the search engine instead and there I go - I'm already at the site.

I was desperate to get my work out there. I wanted to get my stories published in a magazine, but it turned out that the prosess was alot more complicated and expensive than I thought. I was browsing the net looking for sites to post my work. I read a yahoo page where another girl wanted to find a writing website. In the end, she said that she'd joined young writers. So I checked it out, and here I am!

I was 12, and REALLY loves writing. So I thought, I want to talk to other king writers, there must be SOMETHING on the Internet.
So I typed in young writers forums....
BAHM!
There is no such thing as a stranger. Only friends we haven't met yet.

All my friends wanted me to do something with my poems and stories so i googled young writers and found YWS on the top of the list of the websites best suited for young writers. I initialy started with teen ink but soon shifted here. I am glad i did it, this place is a heaven for writers.
If Novels are a bucket of imagination, Short story is a bucket of imagination made to fit a mug.

I was bored one day and I searched "young writers" on google and came up with this.
Bully for kindred spirits!
Why do we fall?
So we can learn to pick ourselves up.

Wanna change the world?
There's nothing to it.

A lamppost told me.
Literally.
I was leaning against it, and it hissed, "Oi. You. You're the poster-maker, aren't you?" (I design posters for lemonade-stands, and there was one plastered over this lamppost.)
I suppose I shall have to go thank it now. Don't want to wonder what others will say if they see me talking to lampposts.

Actually, I think Mom found it. We wanted to find a site where I could post my writing, and this is what came up in the search.

Why does the Air Force need expensive new bombers? Have the people we've been bombing over the years been complaining?
