I one day want to be a writer as great as you, I am already writing my own story called Sometimes dreams do come True, its about a girl whose nightmares come true and the like tell the future sometimes, so yeah. You are an amazing writer! And I look forward to reading your future books!!! xoxo ~Madixx
