Hi! My name is Alyssa, I am 19, but please don't think I am the typical 19 year-old. I have been writing poetry since I was in 6th grade and I love it! I have been in contests before, but I just love to write for the fun of it, or to tell a tale of what has gone on in my life. It's my "creative outlet". Please, give me constructive criticism on my work, I welcome it, and don't be afraid to suggest or ask things. Even if you just want to say hi! See ya around! :D
