Sometimes I find that a list of award winners are good places to start. (Although I get depressed when I realize my writing is NOT that good! ha!) Or can you recommend some titles? My story has to do with a girl whose parents just divorced, she's starting at a new school...etc. etc. Thank you so, so much for your time.Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634919180872634636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461076427066534397.post-44147161233670831712008-05-27T10:49:00.000-07:002008-05-27T10:49:00.000-07:00Wow. cool pic.
