I'd ask for the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey ended each broadcast with but you have told all in less than 500 words. (I did not count them.) ..............................................

Thank you!
Comment from Brett Matthew West
In the second line, "enjoying it" not necessary. Perhaps "look forward to enjoy"?
Next to last line in paragraph 2 'wamt" should be want.
Not sure what you mean in the next to last line in paragraph 2 "and at my life is about fiction novels"? Perhaps "my life is about fiction novels"?
In last paragraph "is the reason why" not needed to convey the thought.
From "it's all I have to say" to "I will keep writing" is redundant. May chose to eliminate that.
Maybe move "I will keep writing" to follow "the reason why".
Just some helpful suggestions. Take for what they are worth.

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I'm totally convinced of your love of writing and your passion based on this essay. It is great that you write and read literature each day, as that is important for a writer to do. Is it possible for you to take classes in creative writing - not sure how old you are but many schools, colleges, and even adult education offer such classes. They will help you to become a better writer.
You list writers who are "admirers" of yours; I think you mean that you admire them. You need to watch things like this when you proofread your work, as it can be confusing to the reader.
Good luck - hope that you achieve your dream one day. Just keep finding ways to better your skill.

Thank you! I have fixed it. Is it better now?

That's great. Seriously, find a class if you are in a place that offers them. I've learned so much from teachers and fellow students.

I did get into classes, and I've passed them all.

Having a deep passion is important. I think that is the fuel that keeps you going in the dead of night. Having a writing background is good too. Ideas are great but if you can't convey them properly, it doesn't matter.
Well done.
