Writing Wednesday - Big Announcement for Teen Writers

20 January 2010

Now that I’ve been doing this whole author thing for about seven months, I’ve discovered one of my favorite parts of the job is talking to teens who are aspiring writers. I think in part this is because I often felt very lonely as a writer during those years. I like being able to reach out to those who are there now, and coming across so many of them makes me think I wasn’t as alone as I originally thought.

So I’ve started a blog for teens who are aspiring writers. I’ll post on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The first couple will be my complete publication story, which I’d actually never written out before. I had no idea it was so long. After that, I’ll talk about craft things. Writing good dialogue. What makes a good story. Likeable characters. And so on. I’ll answer any writing questions that get e-mailed to me, and I’ll feature other authors who wrote in high school and talk about their journeys as well.

I’m so excited about this idea that I’ve actually lost sleep over it, which is pretty impressive since I’m four-ish months pregnant, and I like my sleep.

So if you’re a teen writer, or you know a teen writer, have them check out www.GoTeenWriters.com.

Have a great Wednesday!
