I am 14 years old, I've been blogging and writing since I was 11 (I was on www.homeschoolblogger.com for a while, because I've been homeschooled all of my life, but about a year ago I switched to Blogger). And all my life before that I've kept journals (at least all my life that I could write.)I am now a writer for a free, online magazine for Christian girls called Bloom! magazine (www.bloommagazine.webs.com). I mostly write fiction, and I have started several novels, and I have several DOZEN ideas jotted down in notebooks (I have a LOT of notebooks) and I have loose papers dominating my room. In recent weeks, I have wanted to find more opportunities for writing for teens like me. This article answered all of my questions and then some. I think the tip that helped me the most was: Yes, grammar and spelling are important! I have never, ever, ever been the spelling or grammar genius, but my mom is always telling me, "You're a writer! You need to get better!" She's always scolding me if she sees that I spell something wrong, and I know I need it. I scold myself as well, and I really need to do better. This year I just started the 10th grade, and also a vocabulary course. I was pretty happy when I took the pretest and got the result telling me that I have a superb/above average vocabulary! Anyway, thanks for all the help, I will be subscribing to Write to Done!!! ~Autumn P.S.
