My name is Ashley and I'm 20 years old, born and raised in California. I was introduced to this site/app about 2 years ago and it is the greatest thing in the world to be addicted to. 

I'm not very good at talking about myself and I usually go for the most basic description ever on sites like these but since this isn't just any site, I'll share a little bit about me. 

My dad has such a passion for reading and he passed that passion onto me and for as long as I can remember I've always had a book in hand. To me, there is something magical about reading a book and being teleported into another world and relating to the characters in a story. I love being able to escape, even if it's just for a couple hundred pages. 

I've always had a hand for writing and I've attempted to write my own stories before but I was always to scared to share them with anyone and I'd give up and never finish them. But now being in college and basically trying to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life, has brought me back to a dream I've had as a child. 

It may not be the most realistic career choice but I know now that writing is truly my passion and it's what I want to do with my life. Which is why I'm thankful for Wattpad. Not only do I get to read amazing stories but I also get to create my own and prove to everyone that I can make this my life and take it somewhere. 

So follow me on my writing journey and see what I'm really made of.
