How I became a writer

 Two and a half years ago, I sat on the couch, enchanted by a movie called Little Women, the poetic banter, contagious smiles, and wrecking sobs. A young woman with rusty-red curls and focused, stern eyes, breathing magic onto hundreds of yellowed pages, seemed to hug my heart with her ink-stained hands. Something awoke, and I knew my calling was to impact the world with my words and enchant people as I had been enchanted by that passionate young woman, Jo March. So I write for the ink-stained child in my mind who urges me on with every word and breath, her tiny fingers reach for the stars, and her dreams outweigh my doubts, no matter how big.
