How about a Welcome?

[Kenzie]

Okay since there isn't a welcome spot yet I decided to add one. (if you don't mind Sella)

So, hi, I'm Kenzie. I'm 13, love to read and write a ton!

[Xerxes Break(Vivian Ephona)]

I'm Ephona and I'm going into 9th grade next year.

[Sella]

Thanks Kenzie, I don't mind at all!

Hi. I'm Sella! I'm the moderator of this group (obviously). I'm 13, almost 14 (three months :D). I'm going into 8th grade next year. I love to read and write (duoh) and I have a 20 year old sister who's home for the summer, from college. YAY!!!!

P.S. I also like to dance and paint...and my favorite food is sushi. My favorite drink is a smoothie, and my favorite dessert is FUDGE. sorry that was random XD

[Michelle]

i'm Michelle, or Mimi, as i am liked to be called. i'm turning 14 in october and going into 8th grade in the fall. i'm going to borders at midnight august 2nd to get breaking dawn. I am a blonde lefty, so forgive me being a demented poptart.I love writing so much, i am often distracted and my teachers won't leave me alone about it if i write during class.

[Sella]

Welcome Mimi!! I am also going to barnes in noble on august 2nd to get breaking dawn!!

[Michelle]

well i like borders better, so there :P

sorry, that was random.

[Sella]

That's okay. I don't know why, but I like Barnes & Noble Better.

:P You can have your opinion and I'll have my FACT. Lol I don't actually mean it. It's funny, my English teacher said that once. XD

[Michelle]

mine did too, but i have no clue what she was talking about, no one can.

[Sella]

LOL.

[Michelle]

yeah, everyone laughs at her, too.

[Teresa 8-22]

Hi, I'm Teresa, I'm 13, going into 8th grade next year. I like to read and write (no way!).

I like Barnes and Nobles better for some reason, too! There's one closer to where I live, so maybe that's why.

[Michelle]

i have no idea where the closest barnes and noble is, so that explains it.

[Sella]

Hi Teresa!! Same, Barnes and Noble is closer to me too.

[Michelle]

fine, be that way.

[Angel♥]

I'm Eileen, I love reading and writing, and I'm in fifth grade.

RANDOM: I love to skate, I hate my brother, and I wish someone would write a comment on my writing!!

[Veronica]

I've never been to barnes and noble, but I've been to borders plenty of times. It's unfortunate that my town doesn't have a bookstore at all though, and the nearest one is a half hour away(but we do have a library)

[Sella]

Hi Eileen! Hi Veronica!

That stinks, Veronica!! I would die if the nearest bookstore was half an hour away. :D

[Michelle]

same here.

[Veronica]

yeah, I don't buy books that often...but sometimes I don't read books for a while. I think I get most of the books I own in december what with christmas and my birthday. Once I got 17 books for christmas, and two for my birthday! I still haven't read four or five of them...and I think it was about 3 years ago...

[Michelle]

wow, really? i would have read them all within the next year! but im obsessive that way.

[Kenzie]

I wish people would stop giving me junk for my birthday and christmas and give me book giftcards and cash. But hey, I'll just have to buy them with money I earn a different way...

[Veronica]

I was happy when I had two gift cards for borders that added up to $40. I spent it all at once, and almost spent more....

[Sella]

I buy books a lot...mostly because they're books that just came out, so you can't get them at the library.

[Michelle]

exactly

[Kenzie]

Last time I went to a bookstore I spent $61. I was easily able to spend $220 or so more, but I didn't have the money...pooh.

[Angel♥]

I go to the library a lot more than i used to now..... i'm in a high level of reading.

[Michelle]

i hate the library, the selection is so limited and the level is way below that of my own. bookstores have EVERYTHING and that's why i like them so much.

[Veronica]

I like the library because it is close, and that way I don't spend any money on a book that might really suck.

[Kenzie]

When I go to the bookstore I usually buy books that I've already read and loved, then there's no chance of me hating the book.

[Sella]

Same here. But I also buy books that I have read all the other books in the series, and it just came out.

[Veronica]

I don't. I choose books the same way I do at the library. I don't reread books that often, and only if I really liked them and/or I don't remember what happened.

[Angel♥]

I only buy books I want so bad like the battle of the labyrinth of the deathly hallows.

[Sella]

Or Breaking Dawn when it comes out!!

[Angel♥]

I didn't fin the twilight series yet. I must fin!!!

[Sella]

It's SO good! But yeah, same here. I'm on Eclipse.

[Maya]

Hullo, I'm Maya and I'm 20..
Gosh! I feel very old compared to you all! Hmm, am I the oldest member of this group? (I hope not..)
Nah, but I don't really care about that kind of stuff!

Hey, I like some of your ideas here, they're really fresh and unique XD

Well, it's nice to meet you all!
and thanks for the invite Sella..

[Sella]

Hi Maya! Don't feel bad about your age. None of us mind!

No problem 'bout the invite, Maya! :D

[Brighde]

Hi, I'm Brighde. Pronounced Bri-jed, its irish.. XD. I am going into 8th grade. And a have a small (well large) library. Ever since I was little all I asked were giftcards to bookstores instead of clothes or dolls (well now I ask for some clothes) so I bought a lot of books. But recently I've been using the library more, but the public one round here sucks. It has more computers than books!!! So its a good thing theres bookstores.

Oh and Maya, don't feel bad about your age, for all anyone knows I could be 80 (NOT, truly you can see from my pic) or you could be 10. So yeah.

[Sella]

Hi Brighde!!

[Xerxes Break(Vivian Ephona)]

Your 10? Sweet! I started my writing career at 11...

[Sella]

Um, actually, nobody is 10, I don't think, Ephona. I think that Brighde was using an example...

[Xerxes Break(Vivian Ephona)]

Oh. Well I can see she's young! Were all strangely aged writers here ^-^

[Novin]

Hey. I'm Novin;14 & about to finish 8th grade(3 exams remaining) I really love writing & reading & I write haikus & some times short stories(I write haikus both in persian & English but I don't have many english stories ) I like buying books more than getting from library 'cuase I like expanding my own library!& I'm really glad to be here! ... that's it !

[Jackie]

Maya just got to be the next oldest of the group! Hahahahah I am 31! I don't really care about anyone's age though because their writing has nothing to do with their age I have found out lately!

[Veronica]

That is so true! There are a lot of talented people on this site, and from their writing they all seem the same age, whatever that might be.

[Sella]

I agree!!

[Teresa 8-22]

this post may be a little late, but...
the closest bookstore to me is about 30 min. aways too!!!!! its so annoying, when you like, need a good book, and you need it now! we have a library in my town, but it doesn't get all the new new-realeases for a while. i dont really go to borders a whole lot. i swear, ive been there less than 10 times in my lifetime. and yes, it doesnt matter how old we are--we're all writers at heart!

[Sella]

That stinks!!

[Teresa 8-22]

I know!!!!

[Mccaul]

Well, I'm Ryan! 12, going into 7th grade, and sportsy!

You guys are all great writers! I read some stories and I think they should be published!
