Never give up! Always remember that your stories help someone out there find something they've been searching for! Write for yourself...but also write for the people out there who depend on your tales to help balance their lives! It takes hard work to achieve the greatest things!
I found out at an early age that life is hard! Considering I'm a very emotional person, I try to avoid life's hardships in my own way. Writing allowed me to detach my mind from the intolerable things happening around me and create worlds of my own making. I began writing stories and poems at the age 10 and am currently still writing. I believe Fantasy allows us to manage the realistic world by helping us realize exactly what we expect in life as well.
