old drafts
Every author has to start somewhere. I started writing the Allisen's Notebooks series when I was eleven years old, using sheets of white printer paper that I'd fold in half and staple into "books." While most of the basic plotlines remained the same throughout the years, quite a bit of the narration, dialogue, and smaller details were changed when I re-wrote the books for publication.
I enjoy looking back on my old drafts and seeing how my writing has improved. Some of them make me cringe, some make me roll my eyes, and some make me laugh out loud. I hope that all of them encourage you to keep pursuing your dreams and never give up.
