I've been writing short stories for as long as I can remember; in fact, one of my earlier memories is from about fourth grade, when I showed a teacher a story I had written after reading Percy Jackson, and trying to convince her that I was just as good as Rick. (Of course, my teacher, bless her heart, pretended to agree and acted like my writing was the most groundbreaking thing in the universe, even if it read like a nine year old wrote it.)   Then, when I turned thirteen, I started writing bad poetry. Of course, over time that poetry got better with every new technique I would learn in English class, but I still wouldn't say my poetry skills are the best of people my age.   Now, I'm twenty-one, and I've spent the last several years focusing one the worldbuilding for multiple different stories I have ideas for, all of which take place in the same universe and world, causing fun little overlaps and interconnecting stories.
