My name is Alyssa, and I'm a 16-year old girl with some big dreams. Being a writer is something I've wanted all my life, and someday I hope to make that wish come true -- I joined this website because I thought it would be a step in the right direction. I don't have much writing experience, and I only write for fun and for school assignments. My strengths are short stories and poetry/song lyrics, but I'm in the beginning stages of writing my first novel, and I need all the help I can get!
