My name is Laken. I'm 25 years old & have always been an avid reader. I have also been an avid writer since elementary school; my librarian told us that if we brought in books, they'd get put in the library. I brought in probably 1 a week, handwritten & illustrated, nicely stapled together in hopes that they would get put in the library. My dream is to have a book published, on a shelf, without staples.
