I'm Cha, and I started writing when I was 12, back in 8th grade. Like most writers, I've faced the struggle of never being able to finish a story. There's always something new-another scene, another idea-that pops up in my mind, and it's hard to stick with one story long enough to see it through. It's a constant challenge, but it's also what keeps me writing.

Ink_of_Silence feels like the perfect pen name for me. It's like my words are quiet silences, hiding in the shadows, barely loud enough to be heard. I've always been afraid to let my voice be too strong, too open, because I'm afraid of judgment. My experiences growing up surrounded by harsh voices and dismissive reactions have made it hard for me to believe that my words matter. So, I keep them tucked away, writing them under a name that feels safer, almost like they're not really mine to claim.

But still, I hold on to the hope that these quiet, silent thoughts might be heard by the right person-at the right time. Even if I'm afraid to shout my stories out loud, maybe they can still find a place in the world through the silence of a whisper. They're delicate, but they still matter. And maybe, one day, someone will listen.
