Author bio

I'm a 15 year old writer waiting for the moment I turn 18 so I can start entering these contests. Most of the time I use Reedsy to get out of writers block, while I work on my novel. I plan to publish a book of poems soon, and a dystopian series in the next year or so. I love all of y'all so much, stay happy and never give up! Writers block goes away.... eventually.
