We work together on some things, and we put our minds together to have one big creative mind to work with. We are making an effort to improve ourselves.
http://thebeginningwriters.blogspot.com/ - We are an enthusiastic group of students trying to do our best effort in order to achieve our goals. We come from around the world, but we live in the United States. We hope you enjoy our stories.
