Camilo T

My name is Camilo Trujillo and ever since I've been a kid I've loved stories in all kinds of mediums from the anime on tv to the books in my families library I would enjoy them nonetheless like a glutton after a week fast. It shaped me to like writing and reading as a kid as I wrote all kinds of fantasy and surprised others with interesting ideas to the point I was at times the odd one out because I loved reading too much. In elementary and Middle School because my reading was advanced it had gotten me to the gifted testing level but it turned out liking and being able to write decently wasn't exactly what gifted was so I would always be left out of the program constantly taking the exam but I still continued consuming stories. In High School it got to the point it became a addicting where I would read on my phone until my parents would confiscate it until my grades went up. One day in my senior year with alot of time in my head and the stories not matching to the quality I wanted or stories not hitting the sweet spot compared to the one's in my head I decided to finaly place 'pen to paper' as I wrote on my phone's notes app a first chapter. I had a vision for the perfect first chapter, but I was not ready fir the process that went into it. Even after weeks of rewrites and reading over and getting accepted into UGA I still hadn't published that first chapter to my light novel. It was too long and I was afraid on what others would think but as I heard words of support from my friends I continued to write my first and second to drop together and released it. While it didn't get the large amount of views I expected it was more than I expected as I felt a great amount of satisfaction as I continued writing in my free time while going through my final year in its up and downs it grew up with me as a person to the college student I am now. I had now moved into college and become my own person just as my novel did from its planning stage to a multi-chapter story for others to enjoy.
