you ever wondered how movies get started? Or wanted to be a comedian
but didn’t know where to begin? Or thought about where those TV
and radio advertisements came from? Well, believe it or not all of these
questions can be answered very easily - with writing. It may not seem
like it, but the task of writing extends past the long, boring essays
for school, or even long, boring books you may have to read. In fact,
writing is involved in almost anything you choose to do! Like some of
you, I never used to believe this either until I attended my first Young
Writers’ Conference at age nine. |
For
example, I learned that every movie or TV show came from a screenplay
or book that someone had to write, and each joke your favorite comedian
told had to be thought up and written down first. Even the health facts
on your cereal box and instructions for your new video game had to be
written by someone! The power of the written word is everywhere, and
for me, it took one amazing day of writing at the Young Writers’ Conference
to reveal the vast, exciting world of writing. I hope you, too, get to
open the doors and discover the power of words. — Taylor Moore, age 15 |
