I've been writing stories for as long as I can remember actually. I remember when I was 7 I wrote a picture book about my dog chasing her favorite squirrel and I illustrated it. When I was 11 I started writing a novel (was it good? No. Did I finish it? Definitely not). And from then on out I just knew I wanted to be a writer. Throughout high school I never really did anything for writing except writing the occasional fanfiction but when I got to college, after switching my major from nursing to English, creative writing, I started writing for school. But when I graduated I was so depressed that I didn't write for years. I never wanted to. And whenever I would try to write it was always shit. It actually wasn't until I rewatched AoT in 2020 and fell in love with ereri that I found the inspiration and motivation to write again. There's a reason this ship is so special to me. And that's because it pulled me out of my depression and gave me the creativity to finally start writing again. And since I started my first fic Harder to Breathe, I haven't been able to stop writing for these two. So I guess I've been writing for 21 years and it wasn't until 2020, 2 years ago, that I really sat down and completed a whole story. And I have Eren and Levi to thank for that!
