Hello everyone! My name is Chiara Lina (pronounced Key-ah-ruh Lee-nuh).

I started Wattpad when I was 13 with a different account, and I was fearless. I wrote almost every day, and I was working on like 6 stories at the same time. Needless to say it was chaotic, and I never finished any of them because I hadn't really thought them through.

So I started this account...and it just sat there. I wanted everything to be perfect, so I wrote but never published anything. Then I got discouraged and stopped writing. I recently realized I shouldn't have let go of my dream so soon. I want to go back to being that fearless little girl that maybe didn't have the discipline for a full novel, but she believed in herself. And that's what matters.

So if you're maybe struggling with the same thing, and you're scared that people will judge you for what you want to write about or share with the world, it's okay. All it takes is the first step, and then you're unstoppable.

I hope I can move you with my stories and maybe some of you can even relate. Outside of writing, I enjoy cooking, painting, and designing on Canva. I hope to own an art studio one day where I can create as much as I like.

I currently am working on finishing my book Not Sarah's Number, and then I will start sharing my other stories as well!

See you on the next chapter of my book!
