I know this may sound crazy, but here it goes: I've known since the day i was born that i was going to be a writer, it's my goal in life. I've read several times over i needed to practice during my early years, adn so i have. Well, right now i'm working on something that I'd like to publish. I don't think it will be the"next big thing", but I think people would enjoy reading it, and that' a writers purpose, isn't it? I'm only 15, but my mind is a few years wiser. If any one has any advice for me, I'd really apreciate it!!! my email is boyzaremade4me@yahoo.com

If you want to send me some of your writing, I can give you some suggestions. Yes, you made a serious subject/verb agreement error in your initial question, but the rest of your paragraph is well-written, except for punctuation and capitalization errors. Oh, and a couple of spelling errors too. ;-)

Considering it should be "ARE there any editors out there?", maybe you could save your potential editor some angst by running your manuscript through a spell and grammar checker. Even a rudimentary grammar checker should catch singular/plural subject/predicate errors.

Good luck. The question, however, should be ARE there any editors out there.
Keep your head up. You are an ambitious 15 year old, which is a good thing. (I don't have any advice.)

Pick up a copy of Elements of Style, by Strunk and White.
