Jillian was an avid writer. She had been writing stories since she was 18. She had a Wattpad account. However, she felt like she wasn't a real writer. It seemed like she was a phony. She felt like her stories didn't have that authenticity like other authors.
"It feels like I should have started writing, when I was at least eight," she said. "I'm nothing but a fraud."
"Don't say that," said her friend, Randall. "Your stories are amazing!"
"I think they're trash, and I think writing is mostly done during childhood. Look at me. I'm no writer at all."
"Writing doesn't have a specific timeline," said Randall. "People can start writing at any time of their life. Bram Stoker didn't write Dracula, till he was 50!"
"That makes me feel a lot better!" Jillian smiled. *Thanks, Randall!"
"My pleasure!" Randall smiled back.
