I'll always be there for you [Marcus and Martinus]

About author

Anja Paterneš, a teen writer, singer, dancer, model and actresses, has written a lot of interesting books, but she hasn't published them yet. Since she was young, she loves to write stories, especially about her idols. A lot of her books are imagination-based and she loves to write fanfictions. In her childhood, she wrote a comic, based on her then-favorite cartoon "My little pony", and wrote a book based on "Peter Pan" movie. She has won many awards from her friends and family. Although she is Slovenian, she prefers to read English books. This is exactly what inspired her to write Slovenian, but especially English books. When she first decided to write her very first English book, she uttered these words: "I don't care if I'm not good at English, it's important that you learn a new language while writing and have fun while writing."
Her friends always encouraged her to write, but she never told her parents that she was writing a book, even though her friends told her that they would certainly be very proud of her.
She always preferred to keep writing to herself. Her passion for writing never left her. Not only does Anja only write stories, she even wrote her own collection of songs for children when she was ten years old. She named it "A Collection of Poems about a Tree House". It was essentially her very first book to illustrate herself, and she also published it in print. The book was unique, so no one could see it without her showing it to him in person.

Not long ago, she revealed a very special secret to us that she has not revealed to anyone. "I also made my own publishing house, as I wish that one day my books would stand on the shelves of bookstores, libraries, and other stores". She hasn't wanted to give us the name of her publishing house yet, as she says she hasn't written so many books yet that her publishing house could become "famous" if you understand :)
"Why did you decide to start writing books?" is the most common question we ask young authors. She replied: "Some people read them, some people hate them, some people adore them, and I write them. You know for sure what I'm talking about. I never liked reading books, so I decided 'what if I made others' lives miserable with books * laughs * 'I tried to write books because maybe this is my area that I master. I always had an imagination, maybe sometimes too lush, and I thought about how I could write a book at all, but somehow I managed to write it on paper. I was very surprised as it wasn't exactly the shortest, and given that I was barely 9 years old, I was very proud of it. Of course, I started with comics first, as I mentioned at the beginning. I eventually wrote better and better books and now, I've decided to share some books with you at Wattpad, because I get honest reviews here, which means a lot to me. "

She hopes her wish for the future will come true, and she becomes a young writer. Her last words here were, "I know reading may not be exactly interesting, but we need to be aware that people spend a lot of time writing books. It would be very nice if children will become young readers. Maybe writing a book looks very easy, It is true that I never liked reading, but when I started writing books and saw how much time is spent on one book, which can take many years to write, I also started reading more and respecting all writers. In my country, I am a "golden reader", as they say, which means that I spend a lot of my time reading books and also writing. Trust me. When you'll find the right book, reading will become much more interesting to you than if you are forced to read a book that is not interesting to you. Happy reading!" Her life as a young writer has only just begun. She will write even more books in her life and encourage children to read and write books. Hopefully, she will win a lot of awards in her life,even if she lives in a very small country. She could write so many other things about her life here, but everything has to end.

"My goal is to stand by as many young writers as possible"
