A writer doesn't have to be a great speller; that's what they make editors for! And besides, your spelling and grammar will get better the more you write.<br /><br />The other thing you need to do is to read a lot. No one who wants to be a musician never listens to music, and no one who wants to play NBA basketball never watches basketball games. Spend at least as much time reading as writing. <br /><br />As for getting published, finish a book first, then send it around to literary agents to see what they think. I'd say it's unlikely any agent is going to give much notice to a 16-year-old, unless you are exceptionally good, but it never hurts to give it a try. Plus, it will be good practice for later. A good resource for contact information for agents is www.pw.org. That's also a great website for creative writers in general. <br /><br />Hope this helps.<br /><br />~ Scott Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10535260741343975445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29179803.post-14175056269145342622016-04-03T21:36:02.499-04:002016-04-03T21:36:02.499-04:00Hello scott im a 16 year old writer and a active o...Hello scott im a 16 year old writer and a active one at that I would like to know if you have and tips for me getting published I love writing chillers and horror story's because they are my favorites to read but I have a hard time ending my books my longest one is 400 pages of straight up gore and action but it would never get published because of spelling errors but please help me with a new idea for a new book. thanks comment back or email me at Hunter21700@yahoo.com<br />Hunter Welchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29179803.post-65994172227636989492016-02-16T16:05:46.862-05:002016-02-16T16:05:46.862-05:00Glad the information helped, Samantha.

He served in the Congress of the Confederation, which was basically the congress that functioned under the Articles of Confederation (before the U.S. constitution was approved in the late 1780's). That Congress of the Confederation is sometimes referred to as a Continental Congress too. That would make it the "third" continental congress.
