I want to write a book...it's going to include stories, opinions, and facts about teens around the world...how to make a difference and stuff like that....does anyone know who can help me with making it...maybe you want to tell me an inspirational story...something you went through...maybe to voice out an opinion....I want to get started a s soon as possible.

It's called Chicken Soup for the Soul. It's already been done. And this has been posted a few years ago.. I don't think the person is around anymore to answer. Welcome to the boards, pretty in punk.

I've been writing books since the age of 2. I've had a hella hard life, and have gathered SO much info on teen life its scary. I think I could help alot

Some quotes from inspirational people would be cool to add.

if you need help in the form of an editor or proofreader, i would be more than happy to help.

let me know!

I typed up one of the parables from the Andalinë (my bible-story thing, go to page 2 for further info) go read it. now.

Yeah sure! I'll help. Email me if you really want help and I'll send you stuff, because I have lots of stuff, and lots of friends who have lots of stuff! So, anyhow, that's all. I'm out.

sounds cool how can I help?

At least you guys really get into your stories, all I have are masses of characters with vague histories. I get so swept up in all my manias I forget about them for a while.
But the book's a good idea, Ambition. If I manage to finish one, I'll send you a story.

That is a really good idea, I will think of something that might help...

Me, I always start books and never finish them. I think it would be cool to do a book with your ideas, but also like maybe a youthnoise book!

a book is definitely one of the things that influence people. And making a book that's to influence other people is even a great idea. I wish you luck with this project. Why don't you post request for stories and other literary related articles on your website. Making a post is one start but remember that you have to have the author's permission so you won't get in trouble of illegal duplication since you're gonna publish it. I know you can do it. And if you have a school publication, you can ask for the writers' permission to use any poem or articles. I know it's not that easy, believe me-I have gone through those things back in high school because I was the associate editor of our English newspaper. You can do it. It just has to start from you. And if I could dig into some of my stuff, maybe i could post it here sometime later. Good Luck!

Hey everyone~!~
Toucan here I think that would be a really good idea to write that book~!~

hmm.. i dont really know what to write.. i even started writing a novel but i didnt finish it... (i was only about 15 pages long LOL!) anyway, it was horror/medical/African setting but i didnt know if its any good now. I started it when i was in 4th grade...
Now, i was thinking, i should prioritize in publishing my poems... (i hope i would be able to do that)

I think that it's a good idea ambition. Something like this is hard to do though. You need to find a publisher and tell them your ideas or show them a copy once you write it. This is very difficult to come about, I've tried and my friends mom that writes childrens books has tried as well. There are sometimes writers conventions that you can go to that will read your book and give ideas and suggestions. You'll face alot of critcism. Well that's all the advice I have for you. Good Luck!

Sounds like a less sobby version of chicken soup . Good luck with it . Looks like you are in the right place.
