I DO NOT TAKE READING REQUESTS!
The first time I ever wrote a story was in fifth grade. It was terrible, as first stories tend to be, but of course, I didn't think so at the time. That didn't concern me. What excited me was that I told a story just like people did in the books I read and the movies I watched. I never experienced anything like it before. The worlds, the stories, the characters in my head were all on paper for everyone to see. I continued to write from there. I haven't stopped since.
My writing evolved. It improved as I entered middle school and changed when I entered high school. I made every beginner's mistake: info-dumping, having a flat, unlikable main character, putting off my research or not doing it at all. But the biggest mistake I made was forcing the story to my liking, throwing traits into my characters that made no sense. I didn't acknowledge that these stories and characters were alive. I had to learn that I wasn't their god. I was their humble guide. After that, my writing started to improve once more.
Now here I am. I still have a lot to learn. I've restarted the same story countless times. I've made countless rewrites of the first chapters. All part of the journey as a writer and I will never stop telling stories. I will never stop writing.
