I love to write too and im 15, but i think writing should be something you love to do, whether or not you want it published!. I would love to be published one day, for people to read my books and love them as much as i do, but actually getting published is so difficult! I figured out i would rather get a different job than writing when im older and keep writing as a hobby, and if i ever did get published then it would be great, best thing ever, but wouldn't want my job to be just that, too much pressure to create masterpieces all the time!. If you love to write why dont you join this writing group i joined!? its just for teenagers and its great, and when you submit some of your work (just like sort stories or poems or even books youve done) other teenagers review it and so on, and you can read some of the things they write too!. Its great there and youll see how differently other people write, and it will give you some experience of what it is like for your work to be judged like they would have to do if you were gonna publish a real book one day!. the link is http://www!.youngwriterssociety!.com/ just have a look around and see what other young writers have put, you might even see me on there lol!.
