Wow, I haven’t posted since… let’s see… January! I’ve been busy-busy! Sorry about that! But now we’re back on track with three announcements too!
Number One: My friends over at Scott Westerfeld’s blog and I are stsrting a new writing project. If you’ve read Uglies and want to join, click here!
Number Two: We are having a new contest! *cheers and claps* Here it is: The contest is to create a piece expressing an emotion out of these ones: hope, fear, anger, joy, or sadness. The piece can be any form of media. It can be writing (poem, story, essay, etc.), visual art (drawing, painting, sculpture, etc.) or a video. Actually, it can be any media as long as you can either scan it, type it, upload it, or take its picture to post here. All entries will be posted and a winning entry will be picked. (either at random or with a judge or something). Hope you enter!
Number Three: Some of you know that I’ve been writing to various authors and asking them if they’d be willing to post on the site. They sent me back answers to various questions I asked them about writing. I will be posting them on the site one by one, so keep checking them out! If you leave a comment on one of their posts, when I write back to them to thank them, I’ll include your comment!
That’s all… sorry for not posting for so long, but I’m hoping to get back into it now!

I’d suggest asking Ally Carter something about writing for young adults, or something…

Hi Hope-la! Thanks for visiting my site!
If you want to submit something, email it to me at submissions@freshtalkingkids.com! (Or you can PM it to me from Scott-la’s forum… whichever!)

Does it have to be about fear, anger, joy or sadness? If it is about joy can it just be a happy video? Can I put a video on your blog that’s not for the contest? Are you expecting some cool sculpture thingy?
