Uncertain about what to write? A good starting place might be a story that describes what it is like to be a teen in the world today. It could include drama, comedy, inspiration, or any combination thereof.

When creating your story, think about:

What struggles is a character facing?
What choices do they make as a result of those struggles?
How do those choices change the character?
Could your story have a surprise change of events or revealing moment?

You have it in you. Your creativity makes you interesting!

Should I enter?
