I finally got up the courage to write my first book.
I’m Quezia, I'm 18 years old, and I’m a Brazilian girl. I started reading books regularly when I was 12, and as a reader, and a kid, I had this huge imagination, thus when I was 13 I started to have the desire to write a story that was only mine. But, unfortunately for me, I believed that I was not prepared enough to write a story, that I needed experience, and that I needed to be older to write my stories. I kept that thought for a long time. I think deep down in my heart, I was afraid of being a terrible writer. Honestly, I still have this fear.

I love giving people an escape into another reality, providing readers with redemption from the mundane and the ability to feel magic again. I love getting lost in my own imagination, following my wildest muses to wherever they might lead. It’s addicting, it’s life-giving. It’s giving into insanity just a little bit to see what your mind can really come up with if you’re the one making the rules. I love fiction. I love creating it. Here’s what I hate about it:
