I’m not your traditional author. I spend an hour a day tuning in to podcasts, reading novels, or listening to audiobooks on the craft of writing fiction. The following hour, I sit down in the same leather chair and clack some keys.
I’m a rising senior in highschool, taking rigorous AP courses and getting ready to apply to college. I volunteer, I’ve had jobs, I’ve had mental health issues-the typical teenage story. So what makes me a writer?
The dedication to showing up day by day, months at a time, revising, tweaking, and perfecting my prose. Starting early is a milestone-one I’m proud to come to. I invite you to take part in my journey of becoming the author my kid self always knew I would be.
