Last year we won a price (250 euros) for ’best cover’ (of all school papers in the netherlands that is) when we’d only been ’in the circuit’ for a year. This year we’re joining again and hope to get one of the other 5 awards
Don’t give up Hallian..

| User | Evil Jesture | 2006-03-23 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I would like to get my poetry puplished but finding an honest publisher is a pain in the ass. My poems I like and I would like to share them with the rest of the world. In my writing I believe I will die but my poetry and storys will live on forever. So that means I will never die, through my writing I will become imortal. |
| User | Hallian | 2006-03-20 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | yeah, school newspaper. We’re hoping it’ll last. It was started last school year, and I joined as a freshman. It’s hada rough road. Our ENglish teachers are on drugs, so basically they all think that having a paper is stupid, our administration doesn’t have the money to pay for a journalism teacher, and nobody else really cares if it survives at all.

| User | Hallian | 2006-03-18 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | *sigh* I need ideas for a profession. I want to do something in Business. I enjoy being Business Manager for my school paper, especcially since I suck at journalism. Which is funny since I’ll probably be the Editor next year. lol. Anyways, I love writing, and my goal is to publish one book. I am good at science and think it’s fascinating, so I kind of want to go somewhere with that. I am really good at math, but I don’t enjoy it. My mom kind of pushed me into skipping ahead in that, and at the time I just wanted to be special. Don’t we all. Lol.
Anyways, I want a job where I can combine a bunch of different skills. Business, science, english, and maybe a little math as needed for science and business. Sadly, I have no idea what that will be. I’ve taken healthcare and teaching out of the pool though. My mom wants me to decided right now, basically, what I want to be (actually, she wanted me to decide a year ago), and my dad says I have plenty of time, ’cause I’m only a sophomore in High School. But I’m thinking about graduating next year, if I can get into Brown University, which will be tough.

| User | Rokhal | 2006-03-18 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I’m going to be a small-animal veterinarian, unless I find out I’m really good with seals and get a job at a zoo or somewhere. (That would be the pinnacle of awesomeness.)
On the side, I might be a taxidermist (either way, you get your dog back), and a writer of novels or comic books or movie scripts or cheapy teenage serial novels the same quality as Animorphs. Hopefully I’ll achieve a gritty, yet humorous world, with a utilitarian and irreverent view of magic. And a Pulitzer. |
| User | Toxic_Rayne | 2006-03-17 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I do want to publish a book I’m writing on and maybe some of my poetry, because I want to reach out to those around me who feel as if there is no one to reach out for them. As if there is not a soul on earth who cares for them, and I want to let those people know that I care. |
| User | Darth Zeus | 2006-03-17 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | My list of things I want to be is long and short at the same time. It is long because there’s so much i find intresting, but it is short too because I have not found one thing yet I truely believe will work out for me. But journalist is somewhere on my list, i won’t choose to be a professional writer, i think that its chance to get paid enough is too small. I fancy the work of a translator as well. translating english books into Dutch and the otherway around, I would still be busy with writing but differently.. |
| User | Starless Knight | 2006-03-16 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | If I end up writing perfessionally, all my fiction works will be under my pen-name. Most of my non-fiction stuff isn’t here - mostly books anyway. |
| User | Sasha Lynn | 2006-03-16 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | I’d have to write some type of opinion page because it is not in my nature to be neutral or un-biased on any issue. :) |
| User | mae | 2006-03-16 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | rue and Sasha, why don’t you try journalism? Very few people can support themselves at writing. Even if you are another John Grisham or Anne Rice, it takes a long time to get to the point of making any money off of it. You’re going to have to eat. With journalism, you get to write, get paid, and write your novels or poetry in your off time. mae |
| User | Sasha Lynn | 2006-03-15 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Well, I have a total lack of goals but i have often toyed with the idea of becoming an English teacher but i don’t want to have to teach things the way the school system says i do. i want to try to see if i can make that stuff enjoyable for more students. i see so many good writers in my classes who are so bored and repressed that they hate to write anything. i need a profession in writing, theres no other path for me but what exact professtion, i have no clue.

| User | ruejacobs | 2006-03-15 | | | Subject | professional slacker | | Message | i haven’t ever published except on the net. but being a writer is the only thing that appeals to me. |
| User | The Seraphim | 2006-03-14 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | After this last year at high school I’m going into a Sports Journalism Program for college ^_^ If I can’t be an athlete (which was my childhood dream) I can at least follow them around and write about it!
Adding to that I’m hoping to write a fantasy novel of some kind... probably dark gothic fantasy because my poetry is all dark and gothic and I seemed to be more inspired in that area, but I only enjoy reading fantasy novels... Dragonlance, LOTR etc. |
