Write all the time, let it be bad, learn to let some books sit and start something new. :P <br /><br />Whatever you plan on doing, I want to participate! :DElizabeth Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10878194286887425019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728298016217374074.post-14202695589331645652011-07-18T09:02:45.265-06:002011-07-18T09:02:45.265-06:00I think workshops would be a great idea, especiall...I think workshops would be a great idea, especially during the summer. With media being what it is now, you could actually do it across the internet to with webinars and such, but it's not as personable. Each person learns differently so you may want to consider going back and forth between the two. You'll get some who want to come in person to learn. finish that class up and then start one online for those interested in learning that way. <br /><br />This is such a great thing you're starting. I'm thousands of miles away but if you need help with anything online, I'd love to help out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08616276555920544920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728298016217374074.post-46879587357303250512011-07-18T02:04:52.566-06:002011-07-18T02:04:52.566-06:00I think helping teen writers is an awesome idea. I...I think helping teen writers is an awesome idea. I've thought a lot about how to help young writers and have a few ideas. They need a place where their ideas and stories are heard and not lost in the mix of the adult writers. As a young writer myself, I sometimes felt like the adults were patting me on the head and telling me how adorable I was, rather than reading and helping me with my writing. I wasn't take seriously until I was older. It needs to be a place where they feel loved and comfortable. Sharing your writings can be hard. Learning can be hard. Young writers need a place where they can grow and share without feeling insecure. If I knew more about writing and had more resources, I would love to start a podcast for teen writers. Let them be in charge of what is discussed. Help them with writer issues that they face and give them a chance to be heard as more than just the cute little kid in the conference full of adults. That's just my two cents :DJessica L. Celayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13725283349220405323noreply@blogger.com
