Nah because I don't remember much about my life
You can always try. It takes discipline and imagination and is really fun to do.
oh that's really cool and i've always wanted to write a book someday but i don't think so
My first novel, "School Colors," was written in 2002. "Sophie Paraskova" was published about a year ago.
