What do you say about yourself, without it seeming like you're bragging? 

For starters, I'm a very private person, which is probably why it's so hard to write about myself. I had a tough life growing up and often times, writing served as a sort of therapy over the years. Sometimes I assure myself that there are better things out there, sometimes I want to calm my overactive imagination, and sometimes I simply have the urge to jot down my thoughts and form those scribbles into a story.

My urge to write has sometimes caused me a lack of sleep. I wake up around 2 in the morning and in my half asleep state I find myself instinctively turning on my laptop and typing away. I wake up after that and have no recollection of what I wrote. 

I'm often very critical of my work because I want it to be worth reading. I want to write something good enough that turns people who hate reading into bookworms. 

Since I'm quite the critic over my own work, I kept my work secret. Only my closest friends knew of my love for the pen. But after constant pestering from a certain someone and positive feedback from those who have read some of my work, I decided it might be time for me to go public with my writing and get the opinions of a wider audience than that of my small circle of friends.
