I have been writing since I was in the 5th grade. I never used to like to read as a kid, so writing didn't really sound like much fun until I read the Harry Potter books. Once I got into writing I couldn't really stop. I have a sore on my ring finger from when I would write with a pencil rather than typing. I love writing but get serious writer's block (which is slowly starting to disappear). I had just recently checked out this site, and that was only because my friend, Olivia, introduced it to me. I fell in love with it instantly. I'm so excited to get my work noticed even though some of them may turn out to be crap. :)
