i write a lot, i read a lot, and i feel as if i am in a race to publish b4 i get to college. i think that would be cool to do, and i think i might have the story to take me there. i'm shy, but i do love reading other peoples work and i love when other people read my stories. i find criticism something i really need to grow as a writer, and i can't have my family or friends read it, b/c they are partial.
