You’re never too young to start planning your career.

I was only 10 years old when I decided to
become a writer. Start thinking about your
future now.

Take classes that will challenge you and
encourage you to be the best writer or
illustrator or photographer you can be.

Take summer classes in these areas. When it
comes time for Christmas or your birthday,
ask for gifts that will help you in your career,
such as journals, sketch pads, how-to books,
film, magazine subscriptions, stamps and
envelopes, etc.

Enter contests, apply for scholarships. Believe
in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself,
who will?

Start sending your work to magazines and
book publishers now!

Set goals and make them happen!
