Okay, okay, I'm not that old but I do have some advice on writing. First of all, don't go overboard but if you're bored it's a good time to write. And your writing reflects your mood and personality, if you're not into the piece your writing or reading, you probably won't finish it.
-If you want to send me your pieces (just say that's what you're doing in the subject or I will delete it if I don't know you) I will read them and I could put them on the site if you want me too.
-My friend is having a monthly contest on her site,
www.maxpages.com/crazywriters, I can send your pieces to her. Just say so! Just check her calendar to see what month it is, for poetry, short stories, songs, etc. (Her screen name is
