~ Personal Note~
For as long as I can remember, I have been writing. Whether it be for a school project or myself. Since I was a young child, I had the idea of writing my own novel, as I have always been a massive reader. It has taken me many years, and many stories, to get to where I am now. In grade six, I began to research the publishing process and how to write a novel for a school project. This is when I decided I was finally going to write my own book. I joined a local writing group, which has helped me through the process, along with the help of my mentor. After several novel ideas that I gave up on, I finally found one that struck me. Now, it is being edited, and it seems that the publication of my book is in sight.
