- What is your favorite time to write?
- Whenever the mood hits, to be honest. I often come up with ideas whilst asking myself one simple, age old question: what if?
- What are your favorite genres?
- Thriller, horror, suspense, and mystery.
I am a sixteen year old artist, who, honestly, loves to write. When I was in fourth grade, I was reading on a seventh grade level. I was in a gifted pull-out program for reading during most of elementary school. To say I was a voracious reader growing up would be a gross understatement. I hungered for words well beyond my years. I would fall asleep at night as a little kid with a book on my chest. I would stay up hours past my bedtime just to find out what happened on the next page in a book. Writing can take you anywhere, and I think that is one reason I love it so much; you can visit Paris or Hong Kong without ever paying hefty travel bills! It's just amazing. I've been on so many extravagant adventures because of books. I've visited the English countryside with James Herriot, and investigated murders with Tana French. I've even been to the Vatican with Dan Brown! Writing will always mean the world to me, regardless of whether or not I get published, although being an author is a goal of mine. I hope to be published before I turn eighteen. I am currently working on a thriller.

I hold very highly in regard a person who is both immature and mature, only if they know when to be which. This is how I want them to be seen. I want them to have an air of youth whilst also being able to handle the challenges of the adult world.

An Excerpt For Your Kind Critique.......
This is an excerpt from one of my current thriller projects. I don't want to reveal much of the plot just yet. I am curious as to what people think of my writing as it is here now. I am sixteen years old. Please be honest.
The story revolves around newly married couple, Jack and Abigail Rainier, who have just returned from their honeymoon, and are preparing to spend the holidays with Jack's family. When Abigail was twelve, she was forced to witness the attepted suicide of her babysitter, with a… Continue

Glad to see you here, and I am very impressed with your love of writing at 16-years old! I wish I had started young like you.
