"Agent 0018, the mission for the rest of your life, whether or not you choose to accept it, is to keep writing short stories, poems, maybe even novels, until you finally come up with something you like and are proud of. It is also your mission to take constructive criticism seriously, and not consider what other people may think of the topics of your creations. I wish you luck."
Well...I guess I accept the mission, then.
Hey, my name's Beth, I'm 18 years old, and I'll be a freshman at Hood College this fall. I love to write, and as of now, my goal for the future is to go to NYU for graduate school and become a publisher or an editor.
