Ever since I was one or two, I carried a basket of books around the house. I had memorized them and read them constantly.

When I was older, five, maybe, I wrote books in pictures--no words. But it was when I was eight, in second grade, when I actually started to love writing.

It started with a book series called 'Warriors', about cats. I was in love with them, and I started writing a fan fiction, although I hadn't known it was called that at the time.

Soon, when I was nine, I realized something.

I can create books, too.

Not just fan fiction.

Real books.

So I started writing.

If you went into my room, the floor would have papers all over it, writing scribbled across them.

It was messy, and I was overjoyed when I got my Mom's old phone. I got an app (this was before Prose.) called My Writer's Desk. Every single thing I have ever written is in that app--millions of words, thousands of pages, hundreds of chapters. Drafts, poems, stories, dialogue, single sentences.

So my love of writing began.
