    No chat speak! You agreed to the rules when you joined this site and the rules forbid chat speak. Write using full words. Last warning.

    If you like the Twilight series than try finding books that are similar.

    The only way to read better, is to read. There's no other way.

    Read Twilight, Harry potter, then if other books don't interest you I remember at your age I would read the princess diaries... If there are any movies you like, some of them have books that they came from so why not try read them.

    Read comic books and manga and short stories. Go to the library and ask the librarian for help in finding books that you would enjoy.

    Hey, not bad. That's the best sentence you've written since you started posting.

    I knew you could do it.

    Now you just have to capitalize the "i" and add a period to the end and it's perfect.

    Doesn't it feel good to write so that everyone can understand you?

    And she needs a comma after "Yea" and a period after "accident." At least she doesn't do comma splices like someone else we know.

    WG would be the better tutor. She's the writing guru around here.

    Did you get your story back in email, Alty? I never heard from you that you did.

    Alty's the creative writer here.

    I did. I actually meant to write you back and than things got a bit crazy.

    I haven't had a chance to look it over yet.

    Thanks WG. You're my new editor, you do realize that don't you?

    It's a thankless job, but someone has to do it. ;)
