Young Writers Society

Well, I won't be on YWS for about a week. My computer is really screwed up so after a few final posts I have to say goodbye. How will I make it? I'm grounded for my grades so Ic an't play video games, watch TV, talk on the phone. What will occupy my time!!!

Read books.

Write stuff to put on YWS.

Stare at walls.

Make cheesecake.

Stare at walls.

Bartleby the Scriviner FTW! (lol, you could read some Melville ^_^)

Read is a good one!

I had to do this over Christmas break. I think it was more shocking when I got on and saw the 2,000 posts waiting. It was more shocking when I only care about a 1/5th of said posts, haha. I'll have to do it again in Feb, I'm sure.

You'll make it. As my dad would say to me, "pull the needle out."

Yes! Or you could prefer not to do anything.

Learn a skill? lol j/k. What about try a new sport or something? Go for a hike!

Fall into a withering twitching fit on your bed *shrug*

Usually when I'm computer-deprived I think about my computer for a while, then I eventually get used to doing other things. When I make an effort to stay away from my computer I always get so much more done. Homework, piano, working out, reading... ooh sleep! Sleep's a good one. You should sleep on your week off.

Well, when I was grounded I did everything anyway. But I'm not a good role model, so don't listen to me. XD

Sleep, yes. How about write? Have something ready to post when you come back. Read. Hang out with friends. Listen to music. Chill.

Me? I'm gonna fly. ^^

I die a little bit inside every time I get grounded.

Write a lot! When you get back, you can post a bunch of stuff on here and be happy that you're back.

Declare war on your neighbours.

Um, write?

Personally, I would explode, but that's just me. Reading and writing is always good.

Homework?

Lol, every time I get grounded (I think I've been grounded about five times since christmas xD) I just find other ways to use the computer. For example, going online at school.

But I did find that I got a lot more done. I finished much more homework than usual...but I also wrote a lot, and then it was a submission a day on YWS.

So yeah! Write, read, whatever. If you're more the critiquey type, why not print out a whole bunch of stories from YWS and GIVE THEM A "FULL=EDIT"? =P

Well I would recommend calling everyone who you haven't spoken to in a while, and having some very awkward conversations. Builds character.
