Teens Writing for Teens, the 5th

Ah, have not read the books. Don't think I want to. Hopefully ya all enjoy the movie though

ETA: got challenged to make 8k in posts before another AWer reached 9k... now no one is here to talk

I have written 2k so far. 1k more and I'd be happy to talk

Congrats!

Yeah I am just bumming around AW, lookin for places to post. Hehe. I should learn to let a challenge go...

I'd help you out, but i'm out of work in like 10 minutes sorry!

2.2k!

Fleshing out the ending of BB because someone said it ends to quickly and I agreed. I need to describe Skylar's room.

So...what does a seventeen-year-old boy's room look like?

Oh that's fine... I will make it

Ok a 17 year old boys room...

The constant smell of dirty socks and testostorone in the air that just never leaves. Usually an unkept gray, black, or navy blue bedset, school books and papers scattered all over there desk, and dirty cloths covering the floor and any furnature they might have in the room. A TV and gameing thing very close by the bed or a comfortable chair and band posters or (depending on the guy) half naked girl posters covering every inch of the walls.

Still there dragon, I got 2.5k and am ready for a break. *waves*

Um. That's quite a room.

Hey, half of that sounds like my room... no nekked girls on the walls... but... HEY... *mutters*

Are you trying to up your post count too Mytery?

My YA UF protagonist attends a school for the badass where even the half-naked girls on pin-up posters in people's rooms are armed to the teeth.

heheheeh same here, that's like my room without the naked girls too. I've actually only been in a 17 year old boys bedroom once, and it was my friends older brothers when i was younger.

No. I have nothing to do and sometimes I forget to add something and it takes me three separate posts to complete the thought

That's what the edit function is for, so that the whole thread isn't taken up by multiple one-line posts from the same person.

I've been in 18-22 year old guys rooms and they all pretty much look how i just discribed.

Oh... that kind of makes me sound like... Well just so everyone knows there were friends rooms! Actually my own boyfriends room was very much the opposite. neatly kept green bed set, only two posters both of starwars, and no cloths on the ground, his desk was a mess but everything else Perfect! Were so opposites.

Yes, but by then the thread has usually moved on and no one really notices... I get this alot

Ok two dumb questions.
1) is the edit function the middle icon in the bottom right
2) I have seen you guys quote only part of a post. How do you do that?

Heya everyone again. hows it going?

Bottom right, first button on the left. It's the one that says "Edit" on it. It only shows up on your posts.

I quote the whole thing and then when I write my post, I delete what I don't want quoted.

GUYS. Guess who just finished BB's final draft?

Congratulations!

Hmmm... good question. I don't know.... Who finished the draft?
