I've applied to a work experience when I was 14. I thought it was a great experience. I don't care how much I earn I just love working. I thank my career adviser for helping me. It enhances my CV and application for university. And I get to save my money for my future. I haven't spent a penny of it yet. I work 4 to 8 Mon-Fri, usually you can work up to 4 hours in weekends but I volunteer to work extra hours because I just love it. However I have to leave my work experience 31st July, 2017. I work at my local clothes shop. I dislike the clothes though, it is like Primark*10, very uncomfortable to wear. But I don't mind much. The customers friendly and the experience is like an adventure or challenge.

Oh those! They are sponsored advertisements of books.


message 1406: by Ashlee (new)

Ashlee (LadyFireheart9294) I'm rather curious, I have heard of wattpad and inkit but, if I am going to write a book, I would much rather publish it to a major publishing house but, I am a new aspiring author and I have no clue as to how to go about writing my book. Where do I even begin? Has anyone written a book and gotten it published/submitted it or has anyone used Wattpad or Inkit and what is your preference?

Hm, let's see... Well, I really don't know much about publishing a book, so I'm sorry I can't help there. However, I'm sure there are others in this group who can give you some great advice. I use Wattpad, but I post amateur stories and poems right now. Different people use it in different ways. I did see a few authors write their whole book on there, though. So I don't really know whether it's the best option or not, but if you want, I could ask someone and tell you :)

I think you need go to universities to publish them. You should make sure it is legally permitted

Why would it not be legally permitted to send in a manuscript to a publishing house?? Authors do it all the time.

Yeah, I checked out a bit of wattpad but not too sure about if I want to publish my work on there because of those who like to steal

Yes, you should be wary of that. Once someone's stories was shamefully plagiarized and uploaded on Amazon or something, so going to a publisher is a lot better option that way.

Wait, you can't "log in" without an email (or at least I don't think that's possible now). You'll have to go to YouTube logged out.

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments I love Raph to pieces. He is bit like me, but x10 better. So calm, positive, warm, comfortable and cool.

However hate Sam, definetly opposite to me. He is so dumb.

I wish I met Raph at my age at high school.

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments I do not welcome the newcomers visit, they are going to ruin everything.

I'm getting to like Isabelle, people miss judged her at first and she has a beautiful tan which I hate when the others diss her for it.

However the other 4 are so awkward, especially Sam and Simone.

Sue lives upto her name, 'hurricane'. Sam is trying to use up Ellie, now that my favourite lovely Lotan is gone. She needs to be careful and stick with the girls.

Andrew is trying break up Raph and Chanelle, of course I dislike her but it is across the barrier to break someones friendship. I was crying when Raph cried. Andrew is stealing him away from Chanelle.

Because of the VT, it does not mean Raph is a huge game player. He is just here to make friends.

Simone dangerously knows them all off by heart and will do anything to get what she wants.

I'm glad Savannah is gone she is such a diva and the boys keep on flirting with her all the time.

I prefer Tom than Kieran, because he is cute.

Joe is disgusting

Mystic Orange (Rumell) (rkrespectedmember) | 2543 comments When you hold me in the street and you kiss me on the dance floor
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that
'Cause I'm yours
We keep behind closed doors
Every time I see you, I die a little more
Stolen moments that we steal as the curtain falls
It'll never be enough
It's obvious you're meant for me
Every piece of you, it just fits perfectly
Every second, every thought, I'm in so deep
But I'll never show it on my face
But we know this, we got a love that is homeless

Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours
When you're with him, do you call his name
Like you do when you're with me, does it feel the same?
Would you leave if I was ready to settle down?
Or would you play it safe and stay?

Girl you know this, we got a love that is hopeless

Why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

And nobody knows I'm in love with someone's baby
I don't wanna hide us away
Tell the world about the love we making
I'm living for that day
Someday
Why can't I hold you in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that we could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours, I'm yours

Oh, why can't you hold me in the street?
Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor?
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't it be like that?
'Cause I'm yours
Why can't I say that I'm in love?
I wanna shout it from the rooftops
I wish that it could be like that
Why can't we be like that?
'Cause I'm yours

Why can't we be like that?
Wish we could be like that

Secret love song is my No.1 favourite song from Little Mix and I am all passion for it. I also love Joey Devries cover of it. I always get tear-jerks of it.

message 1440: by Willow (last edited Jul 19, 2017 09:48AM) (new)

Willow Lockett | 1 comments Hi everyone I would like to introduce myself. I am Willow Lockett the author of the new children's book, The Secret in the Sky - A Magic wish.
And Rumell I just read your message and although my book is for 9-12 year olds its one of those books everyone of all ages loves as I touch upon how to overcome depression and emotional issues and how to face your fears to achieve your dreams, as that is exactly what I had to do to write this book.
It's about a 13-year-old girl called Ruby Merrygold, who lives with her wicked Aunt Mabel in a spooky haunted house. One day she locks her outside in the rain for trying to sneak into the attic. To her surprise she finds a magical telescope allowing her to discover the secret in the sky through it. She sees Dream Land with her very own eyes, the land where all the Superfolk live that look after all of us down here on earth. There's Walter Wishbone - The wish granter, Trudy Teller - The fortune baker and even Pinocchio, who is all grown up and has achieved his dream of owning his own toy shop, where the toys are all alive! She sees hills that are made out of ice cream, a custard river and even cartoons that are your pets.
She can't believe her luck when Harrison Hawk - the Skyguard, flies down and invites her up to it to go and make her dreams come true. BUT to get there she must board Magpie Airlines, which is in THE ATTIC the one place her aunt has warned her never to enter!
Will she make it up there? And if she does, what happens to those who enter the sky with fear?
If you would like to find out, the first 5 chapters are available on Amazon for free.
It's a warm, enchanting and laugh out loud story, that will take you on a magical adventure into a world like no other. You will learn how to face your fears to get to your dreams and meet the most amazing characters along the way.
I am also donating 10p from every book sale to the Make-A-Wish children's charity that help ill children make their dreams come true. The Secret in the Sky A magic wish by Willow Lockett
