I started out reading small chapter books, like nancy drew (so-so) and bruce coville my teachers an alien (sweet). Throughout my lyfe, i was always writing little stories, but i never really got into them. The very first real book I made was called "the lyfe of a wolf" which was about 30 (and up) chapters long. I spent about half of summer vaca on the story, edited it, and mailed it to my family. Im writng another now, called "where I belong" and is the first time that i introduce the character before the setting, so wish me luck!(ps, im 13)
