Kymani's Story

My passion is creative writing.

It all started when I was in 2nd grade and my English teacher showed us a new type of writing called creative writing. She said all we had to do was make up our own stories about anything we choose. When she allowed us to write our own stories, I wrote about superheroes and how they saved the world from Super Villains. When class was finally over, I realized that I actually loved creating stories from the top of my head and writing them down. I told myself that one day, I want to write a book series on my stories about a hero who comes from an unexpected place of origin.

Going to the Emerging Writers Institute will help me explore my passion by showing me how to write like a professional writer. I need to be able to write like a professional because I want to write books that everyone will want to read. In order to do this, I need to learn certain tricks and techniques that will make me a crafty writer that everyone will love. Due to the techniques that I already know, I will be a decent writer but with a little more help maybe I could be a brilliant writer like Cassandra Clare, Rick Riordan, Heather Brewer, and J.K. Rowling.
