oranization?

now i know for a fact that i am not the most organized person in the world, but do i think that is need when writing? the answer is....yes, i think that its an important skill to practice when your young. that way it comes as a habit when your older. i hope that other authors agree with me on that. i really like the fact that teachers are now really pushing students to organize there work before they start writing. this method is especially used when we write reports and essays for other classes. this way when we go on the computers we actually know what we're doing. our brains seem less cluttered and it helps reduce stress. i hope that teachers continue to push us to organize.

young and old

i had a thought come to mind today, and i was wondering what other people thought about it.
most books are published by adults. now i think that is fine since they are much more experienced, but i thought it would be cool if we could get a whole bunch of young readers (10-14) to get together and write one book. here is my idea:
we get a bunch of middle school language arts teachers and ask them to let there class write one book. the kids write the books and come up with ideas on there own. then they can edit it themselves. once they are done they can send it in and a company (such as Storyworks) could rate them and decide who the winner was. the class could be treated to a pizza party or something like that as a reward. this might get more younger kids into the idea of writing
