It's Been HOW Many Years???
I started writing my first novel, The Land Beyond the Portal, in 2003.
That was twelve years ago. I was fourteen years old.

Ha! This is fantastic. I believe the notebook with my first story is somewhere in my room up in Michigan. I am going to have to look for it while I am up there this month so I can take some pictures as well. Thank you for sharing, Jennifer!
