The contest is open to WDC members who are twelve to eighteen years old. The reviews they receive from the contest judges and the review team (of which you are a part  ) will help these young people explore new levels of creative writing and grow in their craft. The contest link is below, and your job as reviewer is posted on the Review page. You will be working with Nicki D89  , *MaE~BUSY TIRED STUFFED* , Taizia-lurking around :-) & ~ fancie ~ MarNo WriMo

e-mail Hannah Loving Spring ! to join ~ HANNAH ~ Testimonials from our Newbies:Excerpt from Meeple 's Graduation Speech:What is a paper doll? A string of one-dimensional paper human-like figures. Why then is this group called the Paper Dolls? I have never asked, but have come to my own conclusion about that. Paper Dolls are created by an artist who must pay attention to details in order to make sure that each doll is connected securely to the rest of the chain. Once created, the line is unique, linked forever, all alike in at least one aspect, the scissors that helped them take shape. We are the Paper Dolls. Each of us was shaped by the leaders of our group and so we are similar, but as we color ourselves in, with our writing and our experiences, we will also be unique within the shape we have each been given. We are a chain, forever linked.
THANK YOU, GABS! ![Rising Stars Founders Award 2009 [#1610420]
