I haven't always liked to write. Really, I haven't.

That was probably before I read a whole lot though. I didn't even actually begin to read frequently until fourth grade.

Which was four years ago.

Yeah, I'm in eighth grade.

But when I started to really read, I was fascinated by the talent that the authors had. I could picture the scenes that they were describing so vividly that I often set the book down abruptly, got up, did a few things, then came back and wondered why the TV wasn't flipped on because I was certain that I had been watching a movie.

And I kinda wanted to be able do that. Still do.
