Looking for a new moderator for teens group for my replacement

I really need to find a replacement for me for the Teen Writing and Teens group. As I will be leaving bookRix.

I have decided it is not a site for me. I can get feedback on my writing in the group I own on yahoo and on my site. That's what I joined here for-I have never cared if I won any contest. All I wanted was people to read my work and comment. That way I would know what was worth publishing. That's also the reason I entered the contests; to be read. However, it just hasn't been that way; I normally get maybe 9 clicks and a few are more than likely from my own editing.

I want those 5-6 people who do normally comment on my writing to know I appreciate them very much. I have even posted in the forums to be read but I don't get reads. Therefore, I need to find a replacement for me as moderator for this group.

I need someone older than 25 and who is good with grammer, punctuation and spelling. Someone who wants to help the younger writers with their own writing.

I will leave as soon as I find someone. I hope it's within the next week. As I do not want to leave the group in a lurch. If nobody is found I will have to close the group.

You can pm me or post here with your interest.

Thank you,
pamel

The time is here for all lost books, written for teens (ages 12-16 yrs.), to report to the new group home of “Teen Writing and Writers”. Anyone aged twelve to adult may join. The one stipulation, you must abide by, is you can only post books for the genre 12-16 years old. Teens that join and write for a younger/older genre can post a message asking for reading of the book/poetry on their profile.
I hope to see many faces and books arriving soon.

There is a 13 year old girl missing from a town (Colorado City, TX) just 30 minutes away from my hometown. She has been missing since Dec 27 and her name is Hailey Dunn. No matter how far you are from this little town even if you are in another state or heck even another country by now I am begging for you to be vigilant and pass this on. When law enforcment were first contacted about this they would not issue an amber alert because of a technicality. The fact that no one had seen any vehicle in the mix was the technicality. I am sick with the fact that they let it go on for so long before they issued it. The sick bastard could be out of the state or even country (being in Texas) with her in the amount of tme they wasted. Of course, now there is one issued but it is now in the hands of us all around the US and farther to try and help this poor child. I am going to post some useful links below that have further details and pictures! Could you please spread the word and stay alert when you are out. REALLY look at any child that could be her age! If I were any stranger I wouldn't fault you for staring a bit harder in these situations. And please keep her and her family in your prayers?!

I know this was a very long message but this is more important than anything going on in my life! Is there anything more important in yours? No matter how much you may doubt this person would tunr up where you are, there is no facts that she won't. Children go missing all around the world every second of everyday! And if we can all pull together in these times of need we can begin to put a stop to it. Are you too busy to take a look and just get familiar with the situation and the girls face? Can you not do a big favor by handing out flyers to the stores you are already planning on going to? Can you not set down and really pray for this little girl to make a safe return home, even if you haven't spoken to God in years? Only we can put a stop to these viscious crimes by being vigilant and down right nosy even if others don't like it, because just one busy body neighbor could have just simply seen if she was approached or even seen where she was headed if they would have just been nosy! Back when people were scared to be a certain way because of busy bodies and snoopers it was harder to get away with stuff like this! I say we take our security back even if it means pissing off a few people and being labeled a snooper!!! So please for the sake of this precious girl, just take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to even alert one person. Because if we all just alert one person then that will alert all! Thankyou and tonight be thankful for the loved ones that you know are safe and sound.

Hello, my name is Michael Carr and I am 23 years old. I just recently joined BookRix.com and posted my first short story to leave the confines of my notebooks. I have been writing since high school but, I've always been too nervous or shy to show my work to anyone, other than my closest friends and family. I would love to hear anyone's thoughts or comments about my work, feel free to leave me comments or send me messages. It is a short story called "Enhanced Humans."
I would gratefully accept any advice that is offered to me by anyone. I still have a large stack of notebooks that I have filled over the years with ideas for stories, books, movies, and video games, that I am going through and plan to post some of my favorites. They run the gambit of genres with only a few exceptions. I read as much as I can, trying to learn as much as possible. Thank you for taking the time to read my story, I looked forward to reading some of the other work on here and possibly getting to know some of you in the process. I wish you all the best of luck.

Sincerely,
Michael D. Carr

I recently posted some of my stories into this group's list. Read and give your thoughts on them when you can.

Since many young people out there have a difficult time making decisions. Here is a hypothetical scenario up for discussion.

My Diary - May22nd

Next week – summer vacation! I can’t wait for Saturday!
I think I’ll meet the guys at Speedy’s garage. I got this cool retractable box cutter. We’ll probably go out Saturday night and streak some cars. Nicky has it in for the Science teacher for always calling us down for noise. If I don’t do that, I could go over to the Shop Rite and apply for that job cutting up cardboard for the paper drive. It pays twenty whole dollars for only three hours work. I could use the cash. Mom couldn’t give me my allowance cause she got laid off her second job.

I found this old baseball bat at the lot. Me and the guys could climb that fence in the park and shag rocks at the windows of the houses across the street. By the time they find out where the rocks are coming from, we’ll be long gone. Or I could show it to the baseball coach and try to get on the Little League team as an advisor. I’d get to go to a Yankees game for free if we sign on as a chaperone. Once Dad said he would take me but I haven’t seen him for a year.

One of the guys knows when old man Miller in the wheel chair is going to be out of town. He has this forty-five under his bed and it’s fully loaded. We could get it and scare some kids. The only thing is there’s going to be his brother there, making a ramp for the stairs. He asked me to help build it but I don’t know. Maybe I will.

Speedy says he knows where there is a car with the keys in the dash all the time. Mom would kill me if she found out I drove, but she’s never home anyway. It’s this Nissan with the cool rocket headlights. I bet they pop out real easy. Speedy’s brother is going to college next year and he’s going to donate his project hot rod to the car club. Maybe I’ll join and help fix it up for the car show in August. I bet I could make that baby shine like a mirror. There’s so much to do in the summer. So many choices, I can’t decide. Oh, well, I have the rest of my life to live, as long as I have fun this summer.
