If anyone is stuck on the form_for bit this is what I wrote and it worked.

<%= form_for(@destination) do |f| %>

<%= f.label :message %>
<%= f.text_area :description %>
<%= f.submit "Create" %>
<% end %>

how does anyone know where to start with writting these form_fors? Could someone please direct me to a good resource for knowing how to write them? I feel like in these exercises we go from having one provided to us to then being asked to write them on our own and I have no idea what I am doing.

This exercise isn’t very well laid out. I would have no idea where the fields for the destination object would be located without this forum.
