But congratulations!

Is it party time??

Congratulations!

Yay, Para!

Just realized I fall into this category now. I just started school but I'm sort of old (in the low 20s lol) writing YA books that are probably more geared toward 17-20 year olds... sure that still counts as YA right? Ha ha.

Haha, yeah, I think it does, itsaplane. I've seen some places that the YA genre is geared toward 13-21 year olds (or around there, at least). Welcome to the thread!

My sister is turning 27 soon, and she still really likes YA books. Haha.

I know some oldies who still prefer to read YA books over adult books. I think I shall be one of them lol

I had a great SNI today but then I realized it was similar to Bible 2.0

Legend.

Hey, Bible 2.0 is fucking totally unpublishable.

Like, it's the most unpublishable POS I've ever written. Ever.

Also, this is why being a college aged writer sucks: Workshop.

Bible 2.0 is my fave piece of work of yours actually.

It's awful. Horrible.

Terrible. Abysmal. Shitty!

In what regard, Zoom?

Just... WTF?!

Gotta love college creative writing. XD

Ah! I'm so glad I found this section . I've just started my senior year in college so finding the time to write is going to be challenging, but I'm going to try my best! I usually do my writing in my dorm room (Single because I'm an RA thank God!) and I think I'll be reading YA books forever

I tried to make it to be an RA, but living on-campus had its drawbacks for me. I've got so much reading to do for school, I'll be reading less for leisure. But writing... ugh school.

I did plan on taking a college creative writing class, but Idk.

There are definitely disadvantages to this job, but in the end it was worth it. And ugh I hate reading for school! It's never books that interest me and they always bore me to tears :'(.

If you're thinking about taking a creative writing class, I say go for it! I took poetry a year ago and had a lot of fun with it. This semester I'm taking a fiction one and I hope it's just as good if not better.

Yes, I'm pretty much bored to tears with school reading. And I have a hard time retaining the information. Canceled class for me tomorrow because my professor's sick so maybe I can write this synopsis I'm dreading. I fucking hate writing synopses. *sigh*

Bumping this for realz.

I'm a senior (4th year) uni student. How did that even HAPPEN?

I write in my dorm mostly. Sometimes in Starbucks. Sometimes in a bookstore. Sometimes a park. But mostly the dorm.

I'm in my sixth year of college, with two more to go (and sadly, I won't have a PhD at the end of it. Maybe in the future, but we'll see). If I'm lucky, I may have my first manuscript finished by then.

oh hai zombie thread.

I can't believe I'm already halfway done my first semester.

Can we sticky this thread? I don't post much but I like lurking. *feelsslightlylikeacreeper*

I seem to have found a home! Okay, so I graduated from college in May, but I'm not a teen, and I'm not what I'd consider old yet. So this seems like the best thread for me!

I'm considering going back for a master's if I don't find a steady job soon. Does that count for something?

I'm so glad I found this thread! Finally something for college writers!

I'm working right now on a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. What are ya'll working on?
