Sometimes I feel as though I am treading water, or worse, floating, in an immense body of water. Writing, for me, is the life preserver that keeps me afloat. I am twenty-four years old and have been passionate about writing since i read my first book outloud at the age of three. I am shy and outgoing, cynical and optimistic; full of contradictions, in other words. But I know that i love to write. Despite everything else that may occur, i know I love to write!
