I guess before I begin I want to do a
little exercise you all have a piece of
paper yes okay you all have a pen or a
pencil or something to write with okay I
am going to say five words after I say
one word you write down another one the
first that comes to mind just scribble
it down quick
so for example I write I I have the word
wedding right and then right away you
write it down shotgun first or that
comes to your mind whatever it is just
scribble it down quick don’t worry about
being judged you’re not gonna have to
share these words with anyone just the
first thing that comes to your mind
write it because I’m only gonna give you
like 5 seconds y’all ready yeah alright
here you go first word blue write down
the first thing that comes to your mind
blue second word balloon balloon balloon
balloon number three penguin anything
just write it down quick
number four period whatever that means
to you
and number five day last one day all
right so now you should have five words
yes save those words right now I have a
story so I’m in San Francisco one night
right
and I’m striding along those hilly
streets trying to hold on to my pride as
I’m hyperventilating so hard that my
lungs are coming out of my nose and I
get to the top of this mountain it’s
really just a hill but don’t tell anyone
it’s a mountain and I have this feeling
maybe it’s a breathless feeling because
at this point again I’m at like 50
percent oxygen intake but it’s a feeling
that I can fly that if I were to just
spread my arms and lean into the sky I
would be snatched up by the northern
breeze like a feather so I make my way
down the mountain up another one down
another one and it finally get to the
Golden Gate Bridge which is lit
astoundingly by bright yellow lights and
it’s beautiful I climb up a little waves
of one on one of the braces
and on my two feet stare out at the babe
might be the Sun is rising I don’t
really remember but then I just close my
eyes leaning to the sky and I just wake
up now that dream that was a dream by
the way just to clarify I didn’t
actually fly off the Golden Gate Bridge
that would be nice though that dream
inspired this novel in the dead of night
shameless plug here I will be outside
during intermission so you guys should
stick around and I’ll be signing in the
dead of night novels I look forward to
talking to you all and so in the dead of
night is yeah before I do get to talk to
you I have a question I can kind of see
you guys but just raise your hands how
many of you guys have always wanted to
write a novel
okay quite a few of you now keep your
hands up how many of you guys have
actually written a novel okay like a
wave of hands goes down that’s pretty
cool so what’s holding you back time oh
I’m too busy writer’s block oh I have no
ideas technical issues Oh the only pen I
have in the house is running out of ink
my computer keeps freezing and my dog
ate all of my paper whatever the excuses
are right I don’t know there are
millions and I know all of them because
I have excuses for not reading all the
time and I’m too hungry it’s too dark
Grey’s Anatomy is on tonight and I need
to know what happens to Meredith Grey
whatever the reasons just throw them out
the window and watch them fly now
anyways you’re probably wondering who am
i to be bossing you around I will
probably look like a little baby up here
just just finish that high school right
well yeah that’s me I’m 17 years old I
am the author of three published novels
and as our amazing emcee tonight
introduced me my name is Trinity sue and
today I want to inspire you guys all to
write now I’m gonna tell you a couple of
stories with tips and tricks woven in
about my experience with writing and
hopefully by the end of this you’ll be
bubbling with stories and tales that you
want to tell and you
be able to use what I told you today so
all of you has a story right whether you
know it or not and I’m gonna try to
extract that story from the back of your
mind whatever it is bring it to the
front so you can write you can you can
just go ahead and put that novel do
write that novel and not worry about any
more excuses
so that’s easier said than done
right excuses are kind of hard to shut
down so maybe hell with this I’ll tell
you some reasons too right right because
you want to write because it’s an
achievement that you’ll always be able
to look back on and say I did that I
wrote a book right because you think you
can’t so you want to prove yourself
wrong right because an ex said that your
plot is as thin as a fishing line and
your characters are as dull as your
history teachers lectures whatever it is
right just find that reason to write and
and do it maybe you just have a story
which was my what happened to me i when
I was in eighth grade I just had this
story of saving the world I mean I still
do have the story right who doesn’t in
in one moment everything comes down to
you all eyes on you and you have to
punch in some buttons on Twitter or
something defuse the situation between
Donald Trump and Kim jong-eun whatever
it is you type in some buttons whoosh it
sends off to Twitter it said the Wi-Fi
and then finally you saved the world BAM
that was my story obviously well I mean
maybe not that exactly but that was my
story I wanted to save the world
so I I wove that story and I thought
about it but I never actually got it to
writing it until someone pushed me
someone had to shove me and tell me this
is your assignment right write this
story down so I eventually ended up
doing it but it was this crazy story
right so you guys you all have crazy
dreams I’m guessing maybe you have
dreams of walking on the moon without a
space suit whatever it is live if you
can’t live that dream in your real life
if you can’t save the world using
Twitter in real life
then maybe just use use your dreams and
maybe just use your dreams and and tell
it live them through the story that you
can write or maybe write because you
could help someone you could help that
casually suicidal entity sitting next to
you get through a hard time in their
life right because you could help
someone discover his or her identity on
the opposite side of that spectrum right
because you have you have this this
talent of making people happy and you
can just share that talent you want to
make everyone just laughs you’re a funny
person right now you guys are probably
thinking like write a novel that sounds
that sounds easier said than done again
well yeah just sit down and write you
have to start somewhere so maybe more
reasons do it cuz you’re bored
rather than watching TV or playing video
games or staring at the ceiling fan from
the ground wondering what consciousness
is and how atoms make up a personality
just right maybe right because you your
8th grade English teacher said you had
talents because you had a spark that
could drive you to the hands of
multi-million dollar publishing
companies or maybe just write when C
write because I told you to when I
started writing pretty much as soon as I
could put pen to paper when I was in
first grade I remember writing silly
poetry like I had a friend named Millie
and Millie was very silly Millie’s shirt
was freely and Millie’s dad’s name was
Willie still today when I’m bored I
write stuff like there wasn’t a lady
named Sally she lived in a house in the
valley
she ain’t killed for snack she bought a
new Mac and now she’s buried in Callie
get it cuz like Silicon Valley hipsters
eating kale ok anyways since first grade
I still do write silly poetry but
believe it or not I also have moved on
from that I write spoken word poetry and
novels and short stories in third grade
I tried writing my first novel about my
imaginary friends Allison
you see it ended up being somewhat of a
failure because I couldn’t yet found
them something hundreds of pages long
keyword being yes so I kind of trashed
it moved on I was in third grade I was a
little bit frustrated but whatever sixth
grade I try writing something about
becoming a vet a veterinarian because I
love animals but I’m not allowed to have
pets I don’t know ask my parents so
again this is me living the life that I
I want to live through my writing
through living my crazy dreams through
my writing again kind of a failure it’s
probably it was probably like ten pages
long and I I got kind of frustrated with
threatening I moved away from with
writing novels that is I moved away from
it and started working on spoken word
poetry eighth grade now my English
teacher has us write 25 this big
assignment 2,500 words and I’m grumbling
and groaning giving all the excuses
those of you who raised your hand and
said I want I want to write a novel but
then dropped it when you said when I
asked if you had I really understand
that because procrastinating is great
right so yeah finally like the day
before it’s do I sit down and I Bank
something out twenty-five hundred words
turns into twenty five thousand four
quarters later 25,000 words turns into a
hundred thousand and I have something of
a novel that is is yeah I have a novel
called the revolution and it’s about
this girl who spoiler alert if you’re
ever gonna read it just copy your ears
real quick it’s about this girl who
punches in some buttons and saves the
world right I decide just for fun that I
want to publish it and so I send it to a
few small publishing houses I get
rejected and they’re like oh you’re too
young oh this is this is the story has
potential but it’s not really what we’re
looking for so I’m like okay I I kind of
expected that I mean we’ve all heard
this story about how JK Rowling got
rejected by like seven or eight
publishing companies and agencies before
she finally got accepted and got to
build this world of Harry Potter right
so I’m like I can be the next JK Rowling
I don’t need to focus on this right now
so I’ll gets a regular publishing later
for now I’m going to self publish
self-publishing for you starting authors
is like the most amazing
invention ever probably more probably
like a better invention than the thermos
which can keep things hot or cold right
self-publishing keeps you gives you the
chance to put something out there
without having to deal with big overly
controlling publishing houses so
freshman year my book is in hardcopy and
I can confidently call myself an author
I get my my book like featured in the
town crier and I can confidently call
myself an author all I needed was a
little push a little assignment so now
you guys your assignment is to take
those five words that you got from the
slides maybe they had something to do
with the slides maybe they were just
totally off topic
whatever it was take those five words
and turn them into 500 from there notice
how 500 turns into 5000 it turns into
25,000 turns into a hundred thousand and
soon enough you’ll have a novel all you
need is a little push and then get your
revolution started from there from that
revolution from mine I didn’t stop I
joined this writing community called
Wattpad and I started this semi
autobiographical novel
just for fun I had no intention of
publishing it but then I actually got a
lot of traffic on Wattpad and I got
messaged by a small publishing company
saying that they wanted to publish my
book so I I a year after I started
writing it it was this book waiting for
the sunrise was published basically what
I’m saying with Wattpad is if you find
yourself personally this is me if you
find yourself starting projects and then
you don’t have the strength or whatever
you get lazy and you just can’t finish
them join a writing community because
you’ll find that the people there share
your same passions and they’ll continue
to encourage you and urge you to keep
writing if you’re too shy then just go
anonymous but personally without those
people giving my story traffic I never
would have gotten my book published and
I might never have even even finished
the story without their comments asking
for more installments I never would have
learned about myself and I never I never
would have discovered myself looked
within myself through that character
through that novel so another good point
why to write sure
right because you want to write because
you’re bored because it’s an
accomplishment but also right because
it’ll teach you about yourself
those questionnaire questions swirling
within your brain that you never even
knew you had and they’re the layers of
your personality can sometimes obscure
your core and peeling back those layers
is you can by writing is how you can
peel back those layers if you’re too
lazy to go to therapy try writing right
it’ll be like looking into a crystal
clear mirror and finally seeing yourself
so deeply you’ll discover yourself
you’ll be introduced to yourself you’ll
get to meet yourself now I know still
you guys I mean probably you have doubts
right random novel yeah I can write 500
words maybe but a whole entire novel
with characters and plots
yeah that’s step two so waiting for the
sunrise rise waiting for the sunrise was
pretty easy for me because it’s the the
character had aspects of I had aspects
of myself in the character her mine was
my mind her thoughts were my thoughts
her friends were my friends and I was
able to put my internal dialogue into
her head all I needed to do was like
deep fry it add some seasoning and then
my little story came out is this
delicious juicy novel if you want to get
started writing something fictional and
you want your characters to have depth
and layers rather than rather than just
conjuring them out of thin air
try basing them off of yourself again
put your internal dialogue into their
heads now this might be hard for those
characters that you have to write Cora
years older years younger different
background different ethnicities we’ll
start small work from there you’ll soon
find that everyone is human that all
humans are different yeah but also we’re
kind of all the same right we all have
doubts we all have struggles we we get
scared we get frustrated and writing a
character can be daunting but remember
that that character is human just like
you so that leads me to plot as you
write your plot will come together I my
last book which was about that dream in
the dead of night that book took me ages
to write I started it I decided I didn’t
like it so I like almost threw it away
but then I didn’t
I I read like water for chocolate by
Laura s Koval and I fell in love with
this genre of magical realism I was
inspired and I wanted to try it and so I
I did and it didn’t really work so I
took a break I came back from it a few
months later with this new idea and I
reworked the story I added to it and
finally it came out the way it is so
each time I came and went for my story I
built and continued to layer on the plot
this leads me to my last story some of
some of my last point some of your
stories will fail that’s a given but
rather than trashing or burning them
rather than wiping them from your
computer just keep them and and because
chances are they’re gonna come in handy
someday
a character who finds himself in a
different setting a recycled plot line
or a reused conversation something as
small as a Rios conversation just
because your stories don’t work doesn’t
mean that they’re bad so moral moral of
the story if you fell asleep wake up the
person sitting next to you or something
right just go home and write do it now
as you do you’ll find that writing
becomes easier and easier it’ll become
more satisfying more fun and if you if
if you have trouble during a community
find your reasons whatever it is just
let those excuses be excuses and just go
ahead and write if you if you’re angry
write something rage-filled and read if
you’re sad write something dark and
somber if you’re happy write something
that will make someone fall in love with
life right it’s therapy remember because
even if you’re not in therapy now you
could be writing now and I mean now
right now because if you don’t write now
chances are you never will you’ll never
get to discover who you are your true
potential you’ll never you’ll never be
more than just you those thoughts and
those dreams in your head will never be
bigger than just you if you don’t write
now how can you trust yourself
to start later I think it was Benjamin
Franklin who once said never leave till
tomorrow that which you can do today so
do it today leave your legacy don’t
be afraid of emotions that are coming
out of you don’t hold yourself back
don’t tell yourself you do it later
don’t let that beautiful tale that you
have to tell stay trapped inside of your
head just put your pen to paper or your
fingers to your keyboard and start to
write now thank you [Applause]
little exercise you all have a piece of
paper yes okay you all have a pen or a
pencil or something to write with okay I
am going to say five words after I say
one word you write down another one the
first that comes to mind just scribble
it down quick
so for example I write I I have the word
wedding right and then right away you
write it down shotgun first or that
comes to your mind whatever it is just
scribble it down quick don’t worry about
being judged you’re not gonna have to
share these words with anyone just the

streets trying to hold on to my pride as
I’m hyperventilating so hard that my
lungs are coming out of my nose and I
get to the top of this mountain it’s
really just a hill but don’t tell anyone
it’s a mountain and I have this feeling
maybe it’s a breathless feeling because
at this point again I’m at like 50
percent oxygen intake but it’s a feeling
that I can fly that if I were to just
spread my arms and lean into the sky I
would be snatched up by the northern
breeze like a feather so I make my way
down the mountain up another one down
another one and it finally get to the
Golden Gate Bridge which is lit
astoundingly by bright yellow lights and
it’s beautiful I climb up a little waves
of one on one of the braces
and on my two feet stare out at the babe
might be the Sun is rising I don’t
really remember but then I just close my
eyes leaning to the sky and I just wake

Laura s Koval and I fell in love with
this genre of magical realism I was
inspired and I wanted to try it and so I
I did and it didn’t really work so I
took a break I came back from it a few
months later with this new idea and I
reworked the story I added to it and
finally it came out the way it is so
each time I came and went for my story I
built and continued to layer on the plot
this leads me to my last story some of
some of my last point some of your
stories will fail that’s a given but
rather than trashing or burning them
rather than wiping them from your
computer just keep them and and because
chances are they’re gonna come in handy
someday
a character who finds himself in a
different setting a recycled plot line
or a reused conversation something as
small as a Rios conversation just
because your stories don’t work doesn’t
mean that they’re bad so moral moral of
the story if you fell asleep wake up the
person sitting next to you or something
right just go home and write do it now
as you do you’ll find that writing
becomes easier and easier it’ll become
more satisfying more fun and if you if
if you have trouble during a community
find your reasons whatever it is just
let those excuses be excuses and just go
ahead and write if you if you’re angry
write something rage-filled and read if
you’re sad write something dark and
somber if you’re happy write something
that will make someone fall in love with
life right it’s therapy remember because
even if you’re not in therapy now you
could be writing now and I mean now
right now because if you don’t write now
chances are you never will you’ll never
get to discover who you are your true
potential you’ll never you’ll never be
more than just you those thoughts and
those dreams in your head will never be
bigger than just you if you don’t write
now how can you trust yourself
to start later I think it was Benjamin
Franklin who once said never leave till
tomorrow that which you can do today so
do it today leave your legacy don’t
be afraid of emotions that are coming
out of you don’t hold yourself back
don’t tell yourself you do it later
don’t let that beautiful tale that you
have to tell stay trapped inside of your
head just put your pen to paper or your
fingers to your keyboard and start to
write now thank you [Applause]
