Charles Dickens has been my inspiration because I believe that his writing has strong messages.  You can read his works several times and find new messages or lessons that are many times life changing. 

I developed a love for writing when I wrote my first short story entitled, Color It Love in the seventh grade at the age of 12.  From there, I knew that someday I would become a published author.  Many years have passed, but I am now fulfilling my dream.
