![]() ![]() In college I wrote my next novel, The Heiress of Rhiangar. It was a huge step forward in my writing journey! That book will never be published (it wasn't very good) but I learned so much about writing and, importantly, about how to finish a book. Sometimes I would write for five or six hours a day! It was called Tirel and was about a boy who found out he was the lost prince of a magical kingdom. It took me a full year, and I worked on it every day after school. ![]() I wrote my first novel when I was 13 years old. I still have those little trophies sitting in my office! ![]() In third grade, I won the Young Georgia Author Award for more fan fiction I wrote-this time featuring myself and the Hardy Boys. I would even skip recess at school to go to the library instead! My favorites were the Hardy Boys, the Phantom Tollbooth, any books with dogs or horses, the Redwall series, and everything by Jean Craighead George. fan fiction! My preschool teacher read my story to my class, and that was the moment I knew I wanted to be a writer.Īfter that, I wrote and read constantly. ![]() So you could say I started my writing journey with, yes. The ending made me feel pretty sad (I won't give away spoilers-you will have to read it yourself to see why!) so I decided to write a "sequel" to the story that made it happier. I've known I wanted to be an author since I was four years old, and I read the book Danny and the Dinosaur. ![]()
