I am a young writer with a lot of ideas inside that I just can't find a way to share. These contests help. I get most of my support from my school friends (AKA my editors) and I wouldn't be here without them. I have been diagnosed with several mental illnesses, but in my opinion, it's just fresh material to work with!
Also, I am extremly angry about the whole "you now need to pay for the contest thing", cause I don't have that money.
