To clarify before posting:
We are not great writers.
We are not professionals.
We are not award-winners.
We are not popular.
We haven't even graduated high school yet.
However, my (second) cousin, Stacie, and I don't care. We're going write. And we are going to keep writing until we are great professional, award-winning authors with best-sellers.
And, if this is not contained in either of our destinies-so be it. We've lived our whole lives without the public's attention-that will never stop us from indulging in our passion and growing in our literary ability.
Along the way, Stacie and I hope to prove to the doubtful public (sorry to say-but including you, Grumpy Old Bookman) that the overemphasized image of teenagers acting irresponsibly;caring more for text-messages than the stop-sign they just blew through; knowing more acronyms than grammer; mouthing off to parents and authority figures; giving off an overall image of someone who doesn't appreciate everything they are so fortunate to have.
Surprising as it may sound to some judgemental or prejudiced ears, the rude acts of a few far outweigh the good of the whole.
Through growing in our writing and sticking through the difficulties faced by all authors-adult or otherwise- perhaps two ordinary relatives can show how enthusiastic and dedicated the wronged side of teenager-hood can be.
Oh, and maybe share some of our tips we learn along the way.
PS If anyone out there knows how to indent paragraphs in the posts, will you let us know?
Thanks!
