My name is Zach and I have been writing for more than six years. During those years, I have written at least twenty short stories, more than ten poems, over fifty essays, and over a dozen commentary papers. I won an award for one of those commentaries and also won first place for a poem. A short-lived series was popular among some friends. I write a community newsletter biweekly. A story was nominated for an award. Despite the above, I have not published anything or received money for them.
