There's no songs in this thread. Maybe you meant the writing thread or lyrics thread? There's homemade song lyrics in each.

well i think you can write. but to be a professional writer i really don't know the criteria for one. but you can write . there is no question about it.

If you mean me, thanks. If not, well-why not?-thanks anyway.

To be a professional writer you really just have to have your work published. I suppose that really isn't easy, depending on who is publishing it, but though college courses help they're not a prerequisite.

well yes, i mean you. you are really good writer. you are really creative and you have so many ideas. i think having ideas are not really easy. that is what i am lacking. ideas. cause when you have ideas it is really easy to write.

hehehe i will have to look up my file though. i have unpublished short stories too, but i have stashed them somewhere. thanks for opening this opportunity. God bless you!

The hardest part for me is turning an idea into a story worth reading. Sometimes I can write a good draft all at once then just tweak it, but a lot of times I have to keep redoing it and eventually sort of give up on it (non permanently).

A good idea is hard to come by, too, though. That's especially so depending on your genre.

I seldom have time to sit down in front of my fireplace and read a book. The readings I do are short online articles.I for one would encourage teens to pick up a book of short stories and enjoy.During my high school years I have enjoyed reading short stories.I will not hesitate(if time allows) to pick up a book of short stories and read.
