Daisha Thornton asked Amy Neftzger:

When did you start writing? I'm 13 and I'd like to write a story any advice?

Amy Neftzger I started very young. By the time I was in third grade I had dozens of notebooks filled, especially with poetry. The important thing is that it's never too early or too late to start. Just begin.

Some of your stories will be better than others. This is normal even for the best writers, so don't be intimidated by thinking that your first story has to be perfect. The goal is to keep improving and learning over time, and if you're writing regularly this will happen.
