Teens Writing for Teens, the 5th

Rotted. Rotted rotted rotted.

It's tough researching for religion class (apparently, NL is the only province in Canada that still teaches this... Not positive) without Wikipedia. You don't know if half the stuff is reliable. :S

And...Wikipedia became a reliable source when? *has spent the last five years doing research without it because no teacher would accept it as a source*

I mostly use it for personal research and always double check things I'm unsure about.

HR: I can't be the only one who loves the way David Levithan writes, can I? (loved Nick & Norah's Infinate Playlist as well as Boy Meets Boy so far)

I finished my revisions and sent out my first queries today.

*sobs*

WELL DONE!!

I LOVE him. I haven't gotten to read NNIP yet, but I adore BMB. You should read Will Grayson, Will Grayson. Levithan co-authored it with John Green.

I will do that. Soon.

That's great Parametric! Good luck.

Taylor, if you're using safari, go to the safari bar, hit preferences, then security, then uncheck 'Enable Javascript.' It'll muck about other websites but wikipedia will work, so go back into preferences and recheck it.

If you don't have Safari, just google search 'XYZ wiki' and then click on the cached button on google.

Thank you! I joined this site in 2007 thinking I'd be querying within months. Then I started realising how little I knew. It's been a long journey and I'm thrilled to finally be querying.

That woud've came in handy earlier today... But I'll still use that for the rest of today Thank you!

2007? Wow.

Yay! For me it was 2008. I queried during that time...but regret that now.

I'm hoping, if all goes according to plan, to be querying this time next year.

I'll maybe send out a query for fun, but I don't plan on doing it seriously until I'm older. Eighteen at the oldest. That's... five years. Hopefully I'll have something finished by now. Right now I'm only at my characters (before I go any further).

I am debating whether or not to order my tickets for the HP studio tour yet. I haven't heard from my friend about the dates yet, but I REALLY want to go on my birthday.

AWESOME PARA!

As frustrating as the last few years have been, I'm glad I resisted the temptation to query before. This novel needed a lot of work. A lot.

Hi guys! hows everyone?

I'm good!!

Coming up with a name for my new female Sherlock Holmes teenager...

No, not writing it yet, but I'm doing some plotting.

I'm thinking either Miranda or Meredith. (she isn't an exact replica or anything, just a bit inspired).

Do you have a plot or anything yet,Tally?

It's weird living on a different continent than my parents, and trying to describe a flat that I saw today. (The bedroom is the size of a thimble... no it's not mad, the kitchen is nice... well, it has a gas stove... no it isn't moldy... yes, it was clean...)

Tally, plotting one of my favorite parts of writing, just jotting down everything that could be of use during a story.

Tally: I like Meredith best.

Good luck, Para!

Hi guys!

Sort of a plot... I have a setup.

I'm leaning a bit toward Meredith.
