Dear reader, Welcome to the YWP Journal! I have loved words and writing my entire life, and with the help of the Young Writers Program , a spin off of Nanowrimo , I discovered many people who think exactly the way that I do. These people opened my eyes to a new form of writing, and it is due to them that I finished my first novel at such a young age. The community of YWP is one of the most supportive places I have ever seen, so this blog mainly focuses on the news, the drama, and most importantly, the members of this wonderful site. This is like a fandom, but way better! Feel free to leave a comment and a follow, and spread the word among your friends! Sincerely, -Ash
