Hello, I am Miss T (or Miss Crystal). I am a writer and writing teacher. I love writing stories and poems. I also love teaching about writing and poems. I have participated in NaNoWriMo several times. I am currently finishing my revisions of my 1st complete Novel from NaNoWriMO (That I wanted to edit and revise. There were other complete novels I have not wanted to edit or revise). I have already written the rough draft for one of the sequels to this book. I plan to continue writing sequels for future NaNoWriMos. I look forward to sharing this great book with learners. "Pep Talks for Writers: 52 Insights and Actions to Boost Your Creative Mojo" by Grant Faulkner is a great book that helps writers with a variety of problems or issues that may come up while they are writing.
