About

What is Teenage Wasteland Review? Picture an open field, on a clear, sunny, pleasantly warm spring day. Then add some wonderful, bright, sweet smelling flowers, and maybe a rambunctious cloud or two. Imagine running through this field, caressing the soft petals and smooth, tall grass with your fingertips, laughing for joy, feeling the breeze brush past your face and the earth crumble beneath your bare toes. Then— BOOM! — a storm cloud of awesome proportions suddenly appears overhead, thunder roaring and lightning exploding around you, and from this cloud descends a golden pen straight into your outstretched fingertips, giving you the power to write anything that your heart desires and present it to the world, provided it is of worthy quality! …Or imagine a place where high schoolers can freely share their writing with the entire interwebs. Either way, that’s Teenage Wasteland Review.
