Author bio

Hi Everyone! My name is Reuben (As you can tell in my profile). I like reading, drawing, writing, and jogging around my neighborhood. Ever since lockdown I wanted to have some more human interaction. So I decided, "Why not share my stories with the world?". My Mom found this website and I have been writing on it since! I really like this community. I want to write more stories later on. Right now I am just a little bit too busy. TO YOU, THE PERSON READING THIS: You are awesome! DO NOT let anyone make you believe differently. ______________________ NEWS: So yeah, I didn't do Contest #76. I was pretty busy with school and all. I hope I can write and publish my next story in time. You all have a week to prepare!! :) "The Roses" Is officially out!! Quote: “You don’t start out writing good stuff. You start out writing dung and thinking it’s good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That’s why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.” ― Octavia E. Butler
