This gave me a huge old-school Fire Emblem vibe. Nicely done.

Please, choose a different font. It's not ugly or anything, just hard to read.

So how's everybody doing with it? I'm hovering around 9,000 words. Solid, but I've got some catching up to do.

I think I'm gonna do it this year. I first heard about it forever ago and I've been meaning to do it, but I always put it off. Anyway, I whine about how my writing sucks and I need to get better, so I figure that this will be awesome practice!

I mean, the only way to get better at writing is to actually write, right? :3

Darn right! Don't be afraid to ask for someone to critique your work either. That's super important if you plan on getting better. Just don't feel like you have to follow every single suggestion they give you.

Also: the young writers' program is intended for those under 13. If you're in high school, the main site is the correct program. There's a teemingly active teens' forum for people around that age.

Really? The FAQ on the YWP says that people seventeen and under are welcome, and that's me. I could do the adult one, I suppose, but I like being able to set my own goal rather than go for 50,000 words.

And Scourge, I did the two years in a row while I was in my last two years of college, which means I had a lot on my plate as well and I was able to do it (and my grades also didn't suffer!). Time management is usually good for these kinds of things.

My time management skills are lacking, to say the least. :\ At this point, I'm considering just going on with an existing project rather than starting a new one. Is that allowed? By existing, I mean it has an outline and about four or five quality chapters written out of a planned thirty or so.

Yeah, I'm not expecting what I write to be any good without mountains of editing. That's quite impressive that you've won it the last two years. I don't think I'll get anywhere near that, especially since I'm a high school student who accidentally signed up for the legit version rather then the young writer's one.

So, is anyone around here doing it? I'm giving it a shot for the first time, even though November is busy as heck for me. Got a couple of ideas buzzing around, but I need to choose one pretty quick here. Only five days to prepare an outline or something, but I might just jump right in and pray something good comes out.
