Letting your imagination run wild
Many authors have influenced inspiring storywriters all around the world. Author, Jude Watson, has clearly impacted Hannah Schott, an ARCC student. “Jude Watson, has taught me so many life lessons,” Schott said about her favorite author.
Through reading stories Schott has developed a love of story writing. She said her favorite thing about story writing is being able to “control the lives of my characters.”
“I made up stories before I could read or write. If I don’t have a story swimming around in my mind, I’m not happy.” Schott does not remember how her passion for story writing developed. “Stories live inside me. I had to learn how to read and write, though. I can remember not being able to read. It was frustrating.”
Now that Schott is taking three college courses she still finds time to let her imagination run free while she writes. “I can make up nuns, CIA agents, cooks, aliens or whoever and create their life stories.”
“Stop Team Tylenol” is Schott’s favorite story. “The story kind of named itself because it is based on a NASCAR commercial that showed five NASCAR drivers discussing how to stop ‘Team Tylenol Racing.’”
Schott plans to continue with writing, even on a professional level. “I want to publish stories someday, hopefully soon. I hope my four crazy NASCAR stories are never published, they’re too weird. But I have written some other stories that I have high hopes for.”
Keep an eye out for Hannah Schott stories in bookstores soon.
