Calling myself a "writer" seems pretty presumptuous. I always think of writers as people who make their living by writing. I do not make my living by writing, YET, but I have had several professors and peers tell me that by the very nature of the fact that I am actively producing written works on a regular basis, makes me a writer. Cool!
I've been scribbling since I was about 8yrs old. I completed my first young adult mystery at 12ish. I grew up a big fan of Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books, so that seemed like an obvious choice of genre.
The last couple years I've taken two creative writing classes and branched out into poetry, flash fiction (simply defined as a very short short story) and general fiction.
Right now I have a couple manuscripts in the works, with the goal of publishing sometime in the near future. And for my New Years resolution I'm writing in a journal everyday for a year. It may not sound like a lot, but I spend more time keeping up with my writing schedule, than doing my homework. (shhhhhhh, don't tell my professors.)
