I feel like an author!

Hello world!
I have received my first fan mail! Yay! *happy dance*. When responding, I felt like such an author! I thought to myself, "This is what authors do. Respond to fan mail."Except, unlike a lot of authors I have written to, I will try to write EVERY SINGLE ONE BACK! I think that is important to know your fan base (not that I have a huge one), but still, it's important.
Lately I have been reading like a machine! I think it's scaring my mom out a bit. I've read four books this week, and I loved it. It feels so soothing to lose yourself in a book. I think that's why I want to be an author. I want to let people experience the amazing feeling of losing yourself in a book. Because, after all, it's amazing.
Keep the fan mail coming!
