Hello there, I am 19 years old, and have been writing since I was about 16. My uncle took me under his wing as a writer, and he has shown me the ropes. I have had a little trouble having enough confidence to keep this up. I came to this website because no one has really taken an interest in my writing, and I need honest opinions of whether or not I have what it takes to be a real writer. It is my dream to take this to the next level. Please, be honest, be harsh. As long as you take the time to read it, that is all I ask. Thank you for your time, I know it is valuable, and I hope I am not wasting it. -Michael
