Arin Smith's writing career has started and ended before he even discovered it. While searching for a way to vent and explain his deep thoughts about life around him, he came across a girl with a notepad writing about the things happening around her. When the two of them grew up, they grew apart but ended up in the same required creative writing class in college. Although they were two sides of the same coin, their experience and performance were leagues apart. Smith's journey as a writer and author for the niche market is unconventional at best.
