"Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way."
E.L. Doctorow

"No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader."
Robert Frost

"To imagine yourself inside another person...is what a story writer does in every piece of work; it is his first step, and his last too, I suppose."
Eudora Welty

Hey guys!
My name is Justin and I firmly believe in these three quotes.
I am 15 years old and I have a pretty good imagination.
I think that imagination is really one of the only things that really count in the world, because with it you can do almost anything.
Like invent new things, or write poems and novels.
I love to draw.
I also love to read
My favorite things in a book are the characters.
A writer's characters show how the writer really feels and who the writer really is, because those characters are every particle of that writer's personality, woven into a completely different person.
Don't let anyone put you down, because no matter what you're a beautiful person in your own way, and you can break down the barriers that keep you from your dream.
I think that if you can believe, you can achieve
