Tips for writers
It seems like a lot of you are interested in being writers--that's awesome! But I know as well as anyone that it's a tough industry to learn about from the outside looking in.
How do you know if your idea is good enough? How do you get started writing a book? What do you do once it's finished?
Well...there are no easy answers to these questions except maybe "you just do it." (By the way, is "just do it" still the Nike slogan? Am I totally dating myself with that one?)
There are some great articles online, however, that can really help give you some great hints. I've listed a few here, and I just found this awesome article by NY Times Bestseller Carly Phillips here.
So if you want to be a writer, it starts with the writing. But a little research is probably a good idea too.

Hi Ally,
My name is Dina and i accidently found your text on May 03, 2007 paging anyone who is fluent in german language. If it is not sooooo late :) i am interested to know more about this. I used to live in germany for about 20 years and i moved to Califiornia 2 years ago. So my german is still better than my english :)
Anyhow now where i am here, let me tell you i enjoyed visiting your website. Very creative!
Warmly
Dina Asna
Go —soon to be— writers!!!!
