I have been writing stories since I was 8 years old. It took me a long time to understand that what I was creating in my head was called fanfiction, and I've been on fanfiction.net since 2016.  I have over 5 million words and 132 stories logged on that profile; it has been neat to see my writing style grow and change and get more in depth and better over the years. My dream is to write a novel that is not fanfiction, and I have a few ideas I have been writing out this past year. Who knows, maybe I'll get there yet :)
