About Writing:
1. How do you write your stories? Were they planned?
Not exactly planned. I guess they're all in my head so thats how I plan it. If you mean if I write the whole thing beforehand and edit it, then no.

I've been writing online since I was 14 and it kinda just spread via word of mouth. So I guess since then?

Write what you want to write about, take notes, and have a pen available or some smartphone that can jot down stuff! They come in handy when you have amazing ideas popping here and there.
