    100 Best Teen Novels Ever - per NPR

    Yea I agree with that. It's really interesting. I suppose they were just cashing in on the Vampire craze, and lucked out.

    Hello All!

    Maybe that's why I haven't been writing. I always have about 6-7 books on the go, so I always have something to read.

    100 Best Teen Novels Ever - per NPR

    I don't mean to say it's ONLY for people who don't read. I mean it's written in a manor that it will engage even those who do not read. I myself bought and read it. I did not enjoy the story at all, and I'm an avid Vampire Story reader (Been an obsession of mine since I saw the Lost Boys when...

    Hello All!

    Thank you for the welcomes! I've been trying to jump in already, creeping around the forums chatting in the topics :)

    100 Best Teen Novels Ever - per NPR

    Not a fan of over half the list. Many books on here do not seem suitable for teenagers. While I agree with the Hobbit, LOTR is no where near a "teen-novel". And Twilight? How is it so high on this list, it isn't even well written. I'm glad The Outsiders and the Giver series is on here...

    Vampire Diaries fans?

    I have to say, I'm obsessed with this show. I don't quite know how to stop watching. It has so many crazy story lines that somehow always merge together, and I can never let go of the hope that Damon and Elena will end up together (I don't care if Stefan has to permanently die). It is a huge...

    Once Upon A Time

    I'm interested to see where they are taking the show. The second season is a pretty big twist from the first. It's gone from this "fantasy" to reality. I'd also like to know how they plan on introducing new characters that live in the town, having never mentioned them before. I mean how...

    How to Begin a Story?

    Maybe you are just over thinking it! If you were reading the story, rather than writing it, what would make most sense as a starting point. We are hardest on ourselves. Perhaps your original beginning was close to what you wanted to end with, and since you have strayed so far from it, you...

    The self-identity thread!

    Reading one of the posts about Stephen King, I have a similar tale. When I was in about 8, I would read Sweet Valley High; an obviously advanced book for my age. One day we got a new Librarian who actually yelled at me to get off the ladder I was climbing to retrieve a new novel. She told me...

    What Kind of Writer are You?

    You’re an Ernest Hemingway. You chose clear and unflashy words that get right to the point. Other writers known for this style are George Orwell and Raymond Carver. Try your hand at a six-word memoir, consider a career in journalism, and maintain an active Twitter account. Seem's true in the...

    Back up your backups, folks

    Sucks about the loss of your information. I've had a computer crash or two, and I know first hand how frustrating it is. Which is why I have two external harddrives. One is my backup. The other is the backup of my backup. I'm pretty paranoid, but my life is digitalized. With countless GB...

    Hello All!

    Hello all, Elle here. I'm new to the entire writing "community" scene, and have absolutely no idea what I am doing. My life has taken me to a point where I no longer write any more and I just hit a point where I realised it kind of sucked. So my goal here is to become involved and hopefully...
