I'm not sure what category this would be in, but I really like writing stories in my freetime, I don't exactly know why, but I always have. Even when I was little I used to make up my own stories and write them down.
Anyway, I noticed that you're only 14 and I'm just a year behind you. You said you were a published author, and I just want to know, how did you get published? How does it work? Do you send your stories into someone?

Oooh, your a writer like me :) Getting published can be really easy, or extremely hard. Publishing a full book, now thats hard. Anyway, I've been mainly published for my poetry, and my poems were in a book of young writers for my state. Basically you just send your poems in to the place and if they like it they'll send you stuff and it becomes published. There are places that do that for short stories as well. I've also done book reviews for a newspaper, and that was as simple as sending the review in. Easy! But, if your looking to publish something like a novel one day, you'll definitely have to start small. What helps me is the internet, where I post my stories for people to read. I get amazing feedback, and it's great experience and practice. There are plenty of sites you can do this on.(check out mine if you want, links on my page)
If you ever want something published, after going through extreme processes of writing drafts and improving your skills, getting it reviewed by others, you send it to publishing houses. Usually just excerpts, because they don't have time to read all of it. Most authors send their books to a ton of companies before even getting a positive response. It's a big process, but definitely worth it.
