Ink Slinger:
Thanks. I'm a fan of Dr. Seuss and I'm sure the sig will rotate through many of my favorite quotes of his. And congrats to your daughter.

Hey all, out of seventy contest entries there were three winners and two honorable mentions....I was one of the honorable mentions. :-) Webook.com give it a try. Great place to learn.

Ahoy. I'm Charles, and I've been 16 for the past 5 days. I'm working on a story that I started about 7 months ago for the Personal Project, a requirement of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program at my high school. I haven't come up with a name for it yet 'cause that's not really important at this point. It's... what I'm pretty sure at this point might be a ripoff of The Dresden Files (which is BAD, and it's really irking me and slowing down progress). The only real difference between my story and The Dresden Files at this point is that the main character is 18 and goes to New York University. At this point, I only have 18 pages (mainly 'cause I've got so much work for the IBMYP). I'm also writing this from scratch without any tips from other writing sites (because I feel that trying to absorb and process all of that information would take a long time and distract me from actually writing the story).

Hi L&B. Best wishes on your writing. Never fear reading and checking out writer's craft sites or you'll advance at a crawl space. Over the course of writing a long work you will grow anyway. Don't fear it but enjoy the learning. As to being too Dresden like--you've recogized it so move on. Enjoy the challenging task of creating your own world. Worldbuilding is hard but so rewarding. If you get too tangled up then call it a learning fan piece and start imaging your next work. Nice to see you posting in author craft!
