I write for venting, for entertaining stories, for emotional poems. I'm a beginner at serious writing (I'm 14.) I think I'm pretty decent, but no where around really great, yet.

There are worlds out there, fantastic, beautiful worlds, where light and shadow intermingles, where sorrowful ships whose crews died long ago float adrift in the speckled cosmos, where lizard-like pirate captains duel games of wits with the dragon-stalkers sworn to destroy them, and where mountaintops hide long secret temples of science and wisdom, floating amidst the very clouds that obscure them. These things I see, these things I feel, and they must be freed, else a terrible pain, an ache in the hollow places of the heart. I write for my own sake, and no one else's, with the exception of the hundreds who demand their stories be told.

He was somewhat a prodigy, and I always got compared to him, thanks to that, I seize to care about much, but I always admired him, and wanted to be like him. He then published a short story on a book they published on a school book, and I fell in love with it. Ever since that, I followed my brother into RPGs and couldn’t stop myself. --What Do You Write? -I write demented, horror, sadistic, brutal, and tortured (usually mental) types of stuff.
