THE BOOK LOVER

Hello! I’m Crystal Hayes! I started writing when I was 11 years old, thanks to my 4th-grade teacher. He read most of a book in class. He stopped before the ending and asked us to write a paragraph about what he thought would happen or what we wanted to happen. I came in the next day with two pages of what I thought would happen. He stopped me after class and simply asked, “Have you ever thought about being a writer?” and that was that. I started to learn everything that I could, all while ignoring the most obvious thing… I would have paid attention in English, which I hated at the time. And it wasn't until I was in high school that I learned everything I needed to know. I could learn in English, and finally started paying attention.

​

I get ideas from the strangest places. Songs, movies, books, comics, manga, anime, TV shows, dreams, and random thoughts- and I do mean random.
