Do you scrapbook and if so when did you start?
Q. I never really got into it because I thought it was more for older people, kids just usually throw them into an album and be done with it. That all changed for me when I finally went into a local scrapbook store, but being only 20 yrs old and everyone else older or a kid with their parent scrapper, made me feel like a guy at a quilting bee. So I wanted to know when some other scrappers started doing more with their memories than slapping them into a photo album?

A. I'm 15 and I just started this summer. The reason I started is because I got a summer job at a scrap booking store. I love scrappin'. A lot of teenage girls are starting to scrap book. Even the popular teen brand, Juicy Couture, made a scrap book that comes with embellishments.

Should i keep writing it& what do you think of it?
Q. 1.Winter Green So you will definitely be going then? Jean asks me in the cheery voice she always just has to use. I definitely will not be going. I say as I shut the school door in her face and storm down the steps. Why would anyone go to such a lame school dance? The middle school dances are always boring. Especially when you don t have any friends to hang out with once you get there. I walk down the sidewalk, past the park, past the deserted ice cream stand, through the town garden, and up 33 Brichdale Drive all the way to a little, dirt colored, stuffy house that I am supposed to call home. Moving to a new town at the very beginning of summer wasn t my idea of fun, but my mother made me leave my darling town of Spring Lake. Now I… [cont.]

A. I think that your story is well-written and intriguing. You are obviously literate with a knowledge of how to format your story correctly! And, you have chosen to write in the present tense (which is more difficult than writing in past tense) without slipping into past tense as often happens with (inexperienced) writers -- the only error I saw was when you wrote: I hung up, where you should have written: I hang up. I am wondering, though, whether Tina and Alex are "your" parents in the story and would suggest that you explain at some point exactly who they are. You might write: I call my parents familiarly by their first names (if that's the case). Anyway, I think that you have a great beginning and a talent for writing and that you… [cont.]
