Hey, I'm Helen :) My major is English. I plan to minor in Spanish next semester. Writing is my hobby, passion, and career. I mostly write fantasy books, but I also occasionally write poems, short stories or rap songs. I'm not working anywhere at the moment, just trying to focus on school. I'm usually a slow-reader, but it's easier when it's an easy read and not as many words. I have focusing issues sometimes, and can forget assignments, can get overwhelmed, but I have a life coach to help me with this, and a good app that helps me keep track of things. I'm always eager to do the best I can. I got into both reading and writing when I read many of the Goosebumps books by R.L. Stine in third grade. I loved the idea of spooky ghost stories, mysteries, and scenes and descriptions that give you goosebumps. That's why the first several short stories I've written were ghost stories--and probably why my description skills are so elaborate. Books mean a lot to me...
