"Ben, u are the most terrible writer I have seen in my life" ... that sentence has haunted me ever since year 7... my teacher said that, I hate that teacher, no body could understand why, because I never told anyone, I never told anyone because I was afraid they would say he was right..

"one day when u are 60 years old, you will walk into a book store, looking for a good read, and you will see my name printed on every book you look at, and then you will know you are wrong" ... That was my reply

The story you are about to read it the story if Reaper!

I came home that day and sat at my computer, I wrote a story about some year 8's who go to a camp and die... yes I did, if u think Im joking go to my page and click on Death by dawn.. go on, ill wait
.............................................................................. do da de da de dum.............................................
.................... see? Yeah at the end of year 7 I was a little angry boy... I wrote poems and stories about death, I though that was the way to show my teacher he was wrong... but no that was the path of darkness, to show he was right, I did not know that at the time, if I did maybe I wouldn't have chose such a depressive name..., Reaper? What the ****, I wish a called my self something to be proud of ! But I cant change it :( anyway my booksie journey all started one night when I was surfing the net, looking for a place to be known, I tried poetry.com and writing.com.... if u ever go there I hope a dragon eats you!, those two sites are a disgrace, and if you are a fan of them post hate mail.. I don't care . Anyway when I found booksie I was soo exited, like jump up and down run around the house make you brothers think they have finally snapped you exited XD. I made my account right away and started with posting blood and water, the story that my teacher said was ... well to put it nicely bad! Ha!, then after running around the house yelling “i did it I did it ” I sat down and Started looking at peoples work, I commented on most, then went to bed, and no that doesn't mean I slept..
anyway the next day after school I come and checked and ... A COMMENT!

lets start with the negatives.
there's a large number of spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes.

on the plus side, this has a great storyline. i couldn't stop reading.

keep up the good work, but edit to sort out the mistakes ^_^

... THANK YOU  sineadmc1990! ..and then as I looked I saw another comment, from poet 3 :) little did I know then but poet3 would be the one to help me prove Mr smartypants teacher wrong! Lol
after that I spent the rest of the day writing more and more and more, until one day I was re reading all the comments I got, and something changed me, I think it was just the never ending encouragement from poet3!, then I started my first novel.. yeas SCARY! It called the Jenovan war, and I finished it! OMG YES I FINISHED IT ! Lol it 16 chapters long, and if you go and click on the last chapter you see a comment from. Poet3!- the only reader who read the whole thing (Ali is my bro, he did read it but only because if made him at gun point) It was that moment it time that I decided to widen my range of stories, I then started writing all sorts, and still poet3 stayed with me, I was amazed and still am! After a while I got more fans, but the funny thing is my fans commented on one story became my fan and the left me, only poet3 stayed with me, I went through a period were I thought I should give up and I did, yes the mighty me who never gives up, gave up! I logged on to msn, three people were online. A friend form school, a friend from an online game I played back then and poet3, and while I was telling my friend about how I was going to give up, and I accidentally sent that to poet3, and she convinced me not to! YAY!. After that booksie had come major improvements, and they got rid of the star system!, I was so disappointed I nearly wrote a poem about it, and I did! Its called R.I.P stars, lol but I never posted it, should i?. I got booksie of my schools ban list (it was banned for dating!), then I helped two friends find booksie (dragonheart and Gottie), if you would go and check them out that would be awesome, both are starting to drift from booksie due to lack of comments! Grr I h8 it. Anyway Now as it stands I have a good fanbase, and many friends and fans (who actually comment, that you poet3 and Lionheart), now those two people, poet3 and Lionheart, have you ever known any better people???. I haven't Both of them are very talented and both kind, and both smarttypants! It was Lionhaert who came up with this idea!!, anyway if you are ever down or need some cheering up talk to one of them. Now what else??? hrmm, no this isn't over I haven't wasted enough of your valuable time yet...... well I just want to say thank you to everyone who reads this, and to everyone who is my fan, and to everyone who comments  and yeah..... I big thank you to poet3 who pulled me out of my 'oh no, no one likes me, I wish I was dead' stage. Um yeah.. go check out dragonheart and gottie if you have time. And yeah...
Oh two more thing' I was fed up with people reading and not commenting so I wrote a poem called The booksie monster ... it was an instant hit!! 37 comments and and 147 reads! YAY lol, if you haven't read it go read it, oh and also check out Air's spin off, it's called caught and it th funniest thing I have ever read!

But it saddens me to say i have recently witnessed a wave of people leaving booksie, in favor of other site, and i ask them:

Why leave booksie? Why leave it's great community and it's over-abundance of pure talent. I also ask them

What is .. no what could be better than booksie?, they don't answer because they know in their hearts the answer is nothing.
