I’ve been writing since before I could talk, according to my parents, and wrote a full-bodied story with a clear plot while I was merely a kindergartner. While other kids would put Barney or Sesame Street, I was popping in Hooked on Phonics and watched for hours. I wrote a spinoff of Snakes on a Plane when I was in fifth grade, and reading it now, all I can do is laugh at why a fifth-grader had seen that movie anyway. I’ve started several books and wrote a few personalized short stories, but while plotlines are intriguing, I do enjoy poetry greatly.view less
