Teens Writing for Teens, the 5th

Did anyone do media at school or college?

ETA: I got feedback on my short story!

Hey everyone!

Hi, Ely. How's it going?

Just woke up not to long ago.

How are you?

I want to kill my essay.

In other news, I may consider publishing my short story for uni. After some more edits and workshopping.

Ugh. I hate essays. They're the worse thing to write and the one thing I would glady do without.

IT WAS KILLING ME.

Are you almost finished with it?

No. D:

I WANT TO WRITE FOR A WHOOOLE NIGHT AND POSSIBLY A DAY.

I don't know what to write next. I have the last 5k mapped out and know how to get there but don't know what to write in between. I have 10k words left to write and am not sure what I should put there.

MR - Maybe you just need to do something else other than write. Read a book, watch some tv. What to do next will come to you soon enough, hopefully.

Hi guys!

I hope you've been more productive than me. I've just been reading for the past couple of days (and eating yummy food)

Happy Chinese New Year!

Reading and eating yummy food sounds productive to me.

Watching depressing Harry Potter videos.

Watching movies. I'm I'm upset, because I finally figured out downstairs has better Wi-Fi than up in my room, so I can stream them quicker. I've been watching five minutes of video and waiting ten minutes for to it load again the whole night, because that's the way it would work.

I'm getting ready to make dinner and do some more studying and hopefully a little bit more writing.

Shit, my whole post fucking deleted, BUT HERE I AM RETYPING IT.

So tonight, I waited outside the stage door for Darren Criss for four hours, and they were the best four hours of my life, even though I didn't get his autograph (though I got Beau Bridges and Christopher Hanke) Darren got up on the gate and made this speech about how this was his last night and how he'd waited outside stage doors many times but never been at one with this much energy, and talked about how much he appreciated us and loved us and how he wouldn't be anywhere if it weren't for us, and at one point he was unable to form words, practically. I recorded the whole thing so I'll upload it at some point.

During the hour before he came out, other stars were coming through, and we were all belting "Get Back To Hogwarts" and "Granger Danger" and "Teenage Dream". There were at least four hundred of us singing. I made friends. I stood en pointe in UGGs to get good footage. I got my sister a picture with Christopher, Darren's amazing costar and in-show rival. I half-froze to death and exhausted my arm, but it was the best night of my life.

Well, that seems rather exciting.

Can't sleep and don't know what to do. :S

So anyone even on tonight?

Hi, guys.

Lisa! Did you see my post about Darren Criss?

JEALOUS MUCH. D:

I have news!

Oh yes?

Also: I'm in Grade 10 and have gotten contacted by three universities from my PSAT scores. Clearly, I did something right.

(If anyone cares, I've so far gotten emails from University of Chicago, Oberlin, and Texas Christian University)

I got feedback from my tutor about my children's short story and I'm considering trying to get it published - after more editing and workshopping.

This is what she said that put the thought into my head:

This is a charming seasonal story that would inspire excellent illustrations, making a good gift book for 4-6 year olds to be read or read for themselves.

That's nice.
