It seems so crazy to think that I will no longer be a teenager. I guess I had always thought that I would be a kid. When I am in my twenties, I will probably think the same thing and it will happen all over again when I reach thirty. I was born twenty years ago in Dahn, Germany at 11:03 on the morning of January 16th. So far, I am happy with what I have done with my life. I have written eight manuscripts, and published four. I love doing what I believe I do best: writing. The idea that I can come up with my own world and characters, with their own – mostly complicated – situations and villains is an incredible one. Most people would describe me as being ‘too imaginative’ or ‘shut away in my own magical land’. The truth is, they are right. I know that being realistic is important at times, but I pity those who are unable to lose themselves in fantasy or adventure. Call me crazy all you like, but this is me. There is nothing that I would change. I am looking forward to many more years of being ‘too imaginative’ and, honestly, I do not think there is such a thing. Well, only ten more hours of being a ‘teen’. Happy Birthday. 🙂
