Hey, writers!
Thank you so much for your patience and encouragement these last couple weeks while I transferred the blog off our old Blogger site to here. We’re still getting settled into our new home, so you’ll notice that not quite all the boxes are unpacked or pictures hung where we want them, but we don’t mind you seeing us in our messy state. That’s part of being a community.
You can find all the posts on our site, though one thing we lost in the transfer is all the comments. That was a really sad discovery because the conversations that happen here are the best part. We’re excited that the website is live and can now be populated by you guys!

Congratulations to the 100-for-100 finishers!
For those who aren’t familiar with the 100-for-100 challenge, these writers wrote (at least) 100 words a day for 100 days. They’re amazing. Huge apologies that I’m delayed in posting this list.Â

Congratulations!
So many of my friends finished the 100-for-100 and I’m so happy for them!!!
Also, loving the new website. I won’t lie, I’ll miss the old website, but having a website with only your name is nice, too. No more .blogspot. XD
I can’t wait to see where the future takes you and I’m so excited to be a part of this community. I may not be a teen for too much longer, but this website will always be a place I can turn to for inspiration and writing help.
<3
Such kind words, Ivie! We’re glad you’re here.
You belong with us no matter what your age, Ivie!
For me, the old website is probably going to feel like a childhood home for a long time. So much growth happened there, and I’m so grateful for it!
Love the new website!
and so exciting to see so many names I know among the finishers and winners! Congrats everyone 😀
Steph did a fantastic job, didn’t she?
*Blushes* Why, thank you. And thanks for enduring the occasional all caps ranting texts from me over the last few weeks.
YAY! Congrats to everyone who finished the 100 for 100 and to those who tried it at all. I’m proud of you all. 🙂
I’m glad you girls like the new site. And, Ivie, you and anyone else who feels like they’ve aged out of this site are always welcome here, no matter how old you are. Once a Go Teen Writer, always a Go Teen Writer. <3
I’m so excited for this new chapter of Go Teen Writers!! This new site looks amazing. <3
Thank you, Gray! We’re excited too!
This new website is so awesome! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you guys!
We’re so glad you’re part of it, Nicole!
Congratulations to all the winners! I see so many names I recognize!
The site looks amazing! I look forward to watching Go Teen Writers continue to grow. ^-^
We look forward to you growing along with us!
Wow, there are a lot of finishers this year! Awesome job, guys! I couldn’t do the 100-4-100 due to time between projects and going to no-technology camps where I couldn’t work on my current project, but hopefully I can try again next year. 🙂
By the way, the new website looks awesome! 😀
Great job everyone! It’s great to see so many names on that list (and so many names that I recognize from around the community! And the website looks amazing – like the others are saying, I do miss the old site, but it’s wonderful that you’re finally moving to “your own house,” to continue the childhood home metaphor. Thank you for all that you’re doing on this site!
This was such an amazing challenge! Thanks so much for hosting!! 🙂
I recognize so many names from the list! Congrats, everyone! <3
Oh yay! A New website! That means I’m finally able to comment. (My device doesn’t let me make blogger comments properly, so it’s always a pain when I want to.) So one of the silent followers can now appear.
And yes, the website is looking amazing!
And good job all of the 100-100 people.
Congrats to everyone who finished!
Just wondering, are you going to bring back the old page directory? I’m already lost but the website looks great!
Do you mean the Looking for Something Specific? tab, or something else? Yes, I’m still working on a few pieces like that, but I want to make sure we’re talking about the same thing 🙂
The something specific page directory! Sometimes my brain just doesn’t like words
I totally get it. Yes, I’m working on building a new one! It’s nice to know that it’s used.
Congratulations, winners! Wish I could have made it to the end!
And congrats, ladies, on an awesome website!
THANK YOU!
Love the new website! And great job! It looks Awsome!
The new Website looks great! And congrats to all my fellow winners, i can’t believe we made it through!
I LOVE the website! You’ve put so much work into this and it’s really paid off–great job.
Congratulations to all the 100-100 writers! ?
The site looks great! 😀
Congrats to the winners; what a challenge!
I LOVE THE NEW WEBSITE!
And this is the first ever challenge I’ve ever completed. I was so happy to finally finish because at first I was afraid of not completing it. We moved overseas during it, but I was able to finish through it!!! Great job to all the other hard working teen writers out there! *fistbumps*
Congrats to the other winners and the contest winners!!! YAY! *gives everyone chocolate cake*
Wow, the website looks wonderful! I’m so happy for you guys!! And huge congrats to all the amazing winners – what a great accomplishment!
I’ve been following GTW for years and I’m a little bittersweet about the change but I love the new blog! Also, Stephanie, thank you for making the story workbook template- it’s really useful!
I’m so glad to hear that! And we feel rather bittersweet over the change as well, so we understand! Hopefully the new place feels like home before too long!
Hello, Stephanie! How do you decide who wins the special prizes and who doesn’t? All of them put in the same effort, right?
