It was incredibly elegant to me at the time, and I reread it over and over, amazed at how someone could describe something so telling and artisically.<br /><br />I was also a Hardy Boys fan, Nancy Drew, Chronicles of Narnia, the First North American Series, and many more. I always loved to write imaginative stories when I was little, adventures spawned from the Incredible Shrinking Woman, but I never imagined myself being a writer. It wasn't until recently that I decided to write a book based on a crazy dream I had. The first time I sat down, I went through a time warp - four hours had completely disappeared, yet I had several pages of text on my screen. I knew then that I had something I wanted to pursue more.EChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09359075647077590741noreply@blogger.com
