I love writing stories.
I want to be an author when I grow up, so it is important that I start now. I love writing stories, not boring old science essays because, as Jeanne Birdsall rightly says in The Penderwicks on Gardam Street, "Who cares about writing essays when you can write stories?"
I completely agree with her, and I hate writing essays for English, but stories rule! I wrote a story for sixth-grade English class once, and I put it off until the last minute. English teachers always bum me out because they tell us EXACTLY what to write and EXACTLY NOT to write, so even my stories for English sound kind of bleak. Check out one we had to write when our assignment was to create a story behind the painting Nighthawks by Edward Hopper.
Anyway, I love to write. I sometimes write single stories, and sometimes I write series of books. You might be seeing some of these in Barnes and Noble many years into the future... Hope(!)fully.
