Okay so i am 15 years old and would really love to be an author, I have no space though!! I have two rooms of my own and my lil sister seems to be in both of them and her room at the same time. I have a book shelf 1.5 metres high and 60 cm wide for about 287 books!!! Yet i have no space or any money for a bigger shelf!!! or in my case shelves!


Grrr I envyy you all!!:eek::p:D

ps: oh and By The way, Kind of late but welcome to Sff world!

Hmm ... shows how little I've been online since the beginning of December, that I missed your posts Fallen-Petals.

As for the lack of a room to write in -- persevere with your writing dream! Most of us don't have a quiet and private place to work in when we start out. I wrote most of my first trilogy in our dining room, which also (this is how short we were on space) doubled as my oldest daughter's bedroom. It was cluttered and noisy and people were always walking through on their way from the living room into the kitchen. I remember that I lost a whole steno-pad full of notes, never to be recovered.

Jane Austen, they say, did all of her writing on just a corner of a table in the family parlor -- often, I imagine, with the rest of the family (and any visitors) holding conversations around her, or banging away on the piano. And there are many other famous examples.

So you can do it too, if you make up your mind to it. You just have to work past the distractions (which can be hard, but it's far from impossible) until you reach the point where you are so absorbed in the story, the rest of the world doesn't matter.

He He thanks, umm can I ask you another question since this is one?


If I get bored with the story (Its not long enough too be called a book, its on 50 pgs long) I'm writing should I stop and try again because I have no more inspiration for it.? Surely if I'm bored with my own story other will become bored too ? right?


ps sorry its not in a rigth thread but I could find one:o
