Autobiography

I was born at Howard County General Hospital on June 21, 1995. Now I'm 12 years old and go to Elkridge Landing Middle School. I love English and that explains why I love to write so much. If I'm not busy with homework, I sit at my office desk and type up a story that I've been thinking about for awhile.

The first and favorite story that I've written (and kept) is __6th Grade With Gabby Smith__ about a 6th grade girl who just can't get used to middle school. I like this story because it really encouraged me to keep writing down my ideas. It was about 3 pages long, which at the time, was that longest paper that I'd ever written. That story was a huge leap in my writing streak. Sometimes I would struggle with finding an idea for a story. At times, I would sit at the computer typing up idea and come back days later thinking, "Why did I ever think of writing a story about that?!" That's why I like writing for projects because I don't have to think of the main idea myself.

One of the many author's work that I've read, Jim Benton really stands out. He is the creator of the "Happy Bunny" characters. He also wrote the __Dear Dumb Diary__ series. The first time I read one of his books was in 5th grade and fell in love with the books. They are just about a girl's life and how much she messes up at everything. The way she handles it all is the funniest part. When you open it, you'll laugh for the longest you've ever laughed in a long time! This book is fiction/realistic fiction, which are my two favorite genres.

All of these events have made me the writer I am today. Unique ideas, enough but not too much detail, and the perfect authors for girls is pretty much my kind of style!
