I'm 24 years old, and I've wanted to be an author my whole life. I started writing at about five years old, and I've been obsessed with reading my entire life. 
I cannot open my messages on here, so sorry if you've sent me a message. I can see the first few lines, but can't actually open or respond. 
Please read Into the Forest. I've been working on it for about two years now and it is my baby. There are still things I need to clear up with it, but it's so much better than it began.
