Nina was thirteen when she decided she wanted to become a writer—not just any writer, but one whose stories could make people laugh, cry, and perhaps even help them understand the world a little better. However, writing a book felt like a dream too big for someone still navigating the challenges of middle school and dealing with the quiet ache of missing her mother.
Her neighbor, a quirky and free-spirited writer with a house full of books and cats, noticed something special in Nina. She handed her a notebook and said, “Write what you feel, not what you think you should.” Inspired, Nina began her writing journey. At first, it consisted of just scribbles—memories, daydreams, and fragments of conversations. But gradually, her words started to take shape.
