Anna Staniszewski is running a series on her blog that is just genius: she's asking writers to write a letter to their younger selves.

Elana Johnson's letter to herself kicked off the series, followed by YA author Brian Yansky's letter to himself.

And today it's me! :)

I...um...I'm actually really proud of how it turned out. I started out writing something really silly and cutesy, but then I scraped that and wrote the truth, and it turned out much better.
