Student Work

Several of you have been asking for a place to post your stories and essays.  Here it is!  I encourage readers of all ages to post anything they are currently working on.  Whether you are a reader or a writer, I ask that you follow a few rules.

FOR WRITERS:

1.  Please keep the content of your work appropriate for all ages.  Don’t offend the parents OR the kids!

2.  Make sure what you post is your very best work.  If it isn’t finished yet, that’s okay, but make sure you’ve checked spelling, grammar, and punctuation as well as you can.

3.  This is not a protected site.  Your work will be available to everyone who clicks on it.  If you intend to try to sell it, do not post the entire piece or delete it after it’s been up awhile.

FOR READERS:

1.  Please keep your comments supportive and encouraging.  Find SOMETHING positive to say, then offer suggestions.

2.  General comments like, “Wow, cool story” are very nice but really don’t help the writer.  Try to be specific about what you like and what needs work.

TO SUBMIT:

1. Send it to me via email,  (flyinghorsebooks @ gmail.com) and I’ll post it.

Here it is, your work…
