I'm opposite in that respect because I love people reading my work even though people reading it always makes me nervous. And the main character is usually based off me. And at this point, I don't have a choice my friends will always see my stuff I write. :p
To write them in with their permission I cannot change them. :) But why would I want to? :) They love being in my story though, because they call it an honor. And they can see how I see them. :D Why I act the way I act around them.
I used to always write fanfictions, then my dad said I should try to stop that. So I've been coming up with my own original works for years now. Since I was like 14 1/2. My friends are always in my stories though :D
I've been writing since I was eleven. I was on a long road trip, and I wrote my first story on the way back from church camp. :) I used to be on quizilla too. :) And ever since that road trip I've been writing. My style has changed drastically over the years. :D
I'm doing fabulous. :) Thank you for asking. Saturday, I'm going up to Seattle to visit friends, my dad, and try to pull my life together a bit. I sadly don't have the money for college, but the moment I do I'm going back to college. I'm working on publishing a book, and I have four other stories I'm working on as side projects. Waiting to talk to a publisher again. :)
