Youth Imagination will be closed to submissions at the end of 2022. We will be publishing in Jan, Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct, and our last issue will be Dec 2022. It's been a great experience for all of us here at YI, but it is time to move on to new adventures. We greatly appreciate all our contributors and have enjoyed reading so many great submissions.

Courage

  • The Courage to Write

    You’ll need to find the courage to send your story to an editor. You’ll need to find the inner resolve to read the reviews of critics, and to stand against the tides of public opinion. You’ll need to brave a book signing on a cold winter’s day when no one will show up. You’ll need to dig deep and find the strength to quit your day job and take the risk of making storytelling your profession. It won’t be comfortable. You might even regret it. But I suspect that you’ll regret it more bitterly if you never try. (from David Farland's "Daily Kick in the Pants"--Finding the Courage to Write)
