Hey all :) Just looking for a some writing buddies (hence the title)!
I'm 22 - just graduated from Montclair State as an English/Creative Writing major - and am extremely bored with unemployment (I want to be a high school English teacher). My favorite form of punctuation is actually a tie between the comma and the dash (yes, I find this VITAL INFORMATION! .....).
My novel is going to be about an American girl and an English boy who develop a relationship via text messages. Obviously there is a lot more to the plot than just that, but it's the quickest summary I could give. There is a little more detail on my page, so check it out if you want :)
So... be my buddy?
My AIM sn is "lovesthecomma" so I'm always open to conversations about writing!

hey there i'm actually in an mfa program right now in creative writing. you could always go to grad school if you're that bored ;)
i'm a bit older than you (33) but if you don't mind being buddies, then i certainly don't... btw i had a friendship with an English boy way back when based on emails and being on the same message board, so your story sounds very interesting!

I'd lvoe to be a writing buddy. :) I'm 16 (yes, one of the babies) and actually looking into going to Montclair for English/Creative Writing or Musical Theatre. I am horribly indecisive, hence the massive stress ball in my head. xD How was the program there? I know tons about their Theatre section but not much about their English.

I'm willing and able to be buddies with anyone. I'm currently studying English. I don't know what I plan on doing with it. But I was always told do what you love, and everything else will fall into place. I don't know if that actually works. But, hey, I guess I will find out eventually. I'm at BCC right now, and looking to transfer out in a year. Montclair is on my list.

I'd love to join this happy group of writing buddies.
AIM: OhGodMyLife
I'm 23, a little over a year out of college and unemployed (like the rest of the known world, it seems). I'm writing a book about romance and mistaken identity in New York City. Yes I know it sounds corny, give me a break I wanted to do something I was sure I could power through in my first NaNo. Hope to talk to you guys soon!

I'm seventeen and wanting to major in English when I get older, though I'm not sure where I want to go for schooling after high school.
I don't have AIM, but I'd love to be part of this little writing buddy group. My MSN is: minijuneberry@hotmail.com

I am fifteen and currently a high school sophomore. I don't know what I want to major in when I get to college, but it is looking to be something in English at the moment.
I do have an AIM, but I must ask that you ask for it here and give your in return. I am not very friendly when I don't know who is trying to contact me.

hey! my name is Valerie. for some reason i have an aversion to hitting the shift key when it's not an e-mail or a typed document. so any for of social network i just get lazy. i do make an acceptation for proper nouns like names or titles. sorry for my awkwardness. i swear my novel doesn't look like this though....
i also go to Montclair. i am 20 & a senior. currently i am majoring in theatre: production/design but i am also working on post grad stuff in art education. for theatre, i do scenic stuff like painting or prop making, but for fine arts i prefer graphic design....
depending on the course sections, i really want to take some sort of creative writing class soon. any suggestions from people who have already taken one at MSU?
enough about me. i don't quite know how to describe my novel. it's YA with fantasy characters in a real life setting (no magical lands & stuff like that). i guess you could classify them as gargoyles. they are more along the lines of statues although i do incorporate traditional grotesques. there's some romance, but it's mainly about figuring how they came to be & why they are different from other mythical beings. they are definitely a minority - there's only 10 of them.
this is my first NaNo so i don't know what to expect. my friend ErinLynnS convinced me to sign up. so here i am.
november is going to be a crazy month for me, but i would love the challenge. even if i don't make it to 50K, i will probably get a lot more done if i didn't push myself this much.
if you want, you can also follow me on twitter. it's the same as my name here: Valerie_ES
and in case you haven't noticed, i ramble a lot. but, hey, that's what editing is there for....

i am adding you ALL! so don't be surprised.
i don't do aim/yahoo/etc. it's a miracle i reply back to emails!
and Valerie, don't worry....i don't use the shift for capitals either (in my writing & formal things, is the exception) when using forums, i just say it's my 'style' ;)

Hey, y'all.
I'm Annalynn. I'm 17-years-old and a junior in high school, looking to major in English or creative writing (Brown would be my top choice, but of course that's a stretch). I did NaNo last year - unfortunately I have yet to win. But I have faith!
Nice to meet everyone.

thanks _Lissa_ ! glad to hear i'm not alone....
people hate when i try to explain how it's "okay" not to use caps for stuff like this. as long as you know that correct way to do it & do it when needed, then i don't see any problem. i do find it difficult to read stuff online with bad grammar though. or WheNN thEYS TypES LiiiIIKKkkes DddissS. that bugs me. unless you have finger spasms that happen near the shift/caps lock key, i don't think it's acceptable....

Hi! My response seems a bit delayed, but I'd love to have more writing buddies this year. It's such a huge help and incredibly fun :D. I'm 17 and a senior in high school in the middle of applying to too many colleges. I would give out my more "professional" sounding e-mail, but I really don't check it that often, so I'm going with this one if anyone wants to talk writing: x0zulla0x@aim.com
