(Despite the cool, hip way I've titled this thread, I'm actually really terrified of introducing myself. Please be nice to me...) Hey! I'm Emma, I'm sixteen, I write, and this is awkward. For serious, though. I'm a novice writer, and have been writing ever since I can remember. Currently I am participating in this month's Camp NaNoWriMo, hoping that I can actually finish a project this time around. Anyway, it was nice meeting you.

Hey there! I'm also attending Camp Nano...though because you can set your own goals, I'm not writing a novel this time. I did in Nov 2012 but this time I'm going for a poem a day. I also have a stack of projects I want to complete...we'll see...I'm a horrible procrastinator. Nice to have you here.

Thanks, guys! Don't worry Mariah. I'm an awful procrastinator, too. Yipes.

I didn't do it this year because my job is in the way. And you're not the only one who isn't the best with introductions. <g> No worries! You're very focused at 16, and that is gonna go a long way! Cheers!

I don't even know how to Camp NaNo. I wish I had your drive at sixteen! I'd have so many rejections by now I'd be able to build a coffee table out of them! And maybe even a published book or two. Maybe. Assuming that I could force myself to wait until the things were edited. At sixteen I had an awful habit of submitting first-draft everything, because meh, good enough. ^_^

First drafts are easy. Sit down at a word processor and allow yourself to suck. Because it's going to suck. I have never seen a first draft that was publishable. I've never seen a first draft that was fit to be anything but bird-cage lining. Every first draft is awful. If it isn't awful, it's still a thousand times worse than the thing you'll get when you're done your second draft. And that's probably a hundred times worse than your third draft will be.
Put your butt in a chair and put awful words on paper. You can make them pretty when you're done.
