Hi readers, first of all, thank you for taking the time to read this little post. I am Eva Rutherford, an ordinary teen. Aiming to be a best-seller author and man!! This road is a hard one to follow, BUT, is worth the effort. I am sure everyone has written essays and short stories in class for the sake of tests but has it ever happened that the teacher takes time specifically to praise you?

It has happened to me and I was so happy!! It's so fulfilling when a person recognizes efforts right?!?!

I started writing in 9th grade and I am in 11th right now and I am already working on my own book. I know I still need to work on my English skills but that doesn’t stop me from working on my project every day, after all, that’s how people improve right??!?! By making mistakes! We all are humans, after all, we cannot be perfect. 

It’s not like I was born this confident you know, at first even I had my doubts, that I will make silly mistakes and will be laughed at for writing crappy pieces of work but I had the support of my friends and my teachers so I survived through. It does not matter what others say, what matters is that you believe in your ability to show the world your creative and hidden talents. Every writer has a hard time at first, even the best-selling authors today had a bad time with bad sales and writer's block, and look where they are now!!

It's you and only you who gets to decide whether you wish to write or not. Of course, it is good to listen to suggestions of people but letting them force you to change your writing or style is UNACCEPTABLE!!! A writer survives on their creativity, remember that!! We cannot let go of our unique selves otherwise it will be the death of the writer in you.
