Author bio

I'm 14 and I'm looking for ways to help expand my writing skills, which is how I came across Reedsy. I have started writing a novel and it is over 50 Google Doc pages, which feels like a lot and very little at the same time. I hope to be an author someday and live on my grandparents' farm with a horse which my parents have promised to get me once we move in the next year or two. If you read my story, I hope you like it.
