When i was growing up I hated to read, because it was hard. The words on the page never made since to me. In school I would just sit there and pretend to read, and would get frustrated because I couldn't understand the words. Then I discovered Fanfiction. More particularly Avatar the Last Airbender Fanfiction. I started writing my own stories and then reading started getting easier. I started to love reading and writing. It then became my dream to become a published writer. I guess I have the Aang gang to thank for my love of the written word.
