As another 15 year old writer, your talent and luck is really inspiring. I've been working on a novel for a few months now, and who knows-- maybe by some miracle from God, I could be published as well!

You know what these means? I can publish my book. It can really happen. You an an inspiration, Rachel... your first full written book? Sweet. That's it. I'm going to finish this. And as soon as March comes around, I'm buying your book because it's definitely got me hooked! Question for anyone -- possibly a funny question to ask, but I'll ask it anyway.

I didn't pick the romantic genre at first--that just sort of happened (I wrote about it recently on my blog)--but I have always enjoyed writing historical fiction and have never done anything else! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-51300561452521768722012-01-19T17:18:20.529-06:002012-01-19T17:18:20.529-06:00This is so inspiring!!
