I created this blog for myself. When I was little, my mom used to read to me. She would use voices for the characters, and she would make the stories come alive. When it was my turn to lean how to read, it took me ages. I struggled tremendously hard, but in the end it was worth it. I learned how to read, and I fell in love with the printed word.

Almost as soon as I learned to read, I made my first attempts at writing. My very first story that I ever wrote was about a girl named Rose, and went as follows: "Rose is a girl. Rose wants to be happy. Rose does not know what will make her happy. Rose reads jokes. Rose laughs at the jokes. Rose is happy." I was seven years old.

I am currently seventeen, and my stories have developed vastly. I'm not going to pretend that I know everything there is to know about writing, I 'm just beginning. But that's alright, everyone has to start somewhere. This is my journey down the path to discovering much, much more.

Walk with me?
