I'm a recent PSU grad and a writer. I like to write in my free time to relax. I write fiction and I love to learn about the things that I write. For my first book, I learned more about pirates than I ever thought I would. One of the best parts of writing is getting into my own story and seeing where it takes me. I plan out my novels, but sometimes the characters and their actions change the direction of the plot, and I go along with them.
