Creative Writing Solutions
This wonderful web site is put together by writers who have worked extensively mentoring kids. Some of those kids put together a book of fantasy stories,Druidawn, which is now available as a board game Legends of Druidawn, as well as online,The World of Druidawn. The games are especially good for encouraging reluctant tween and teen writers! Teens can even submit their stories or artwork for future editions of the next Druidawn anthology.
