About the Author

As a writer, Elaine believes in the power of words. She writes prose and poetry, seeing beauty in both. She wasn't very interested in writing until the sixth grade when she transferred to a new school. The people there helped her figure out who she was and where she was going, especially with writing. Elaine strives to create unique stories that not only reach out to the readers, but also to herself.
When it comes to poetry, Elaine's poetry is often quite thoughtful. She uses description and emotions to her strengths when writing poetry. Nature, family, pain, loss, freedom, and many more topics are Elaine's stage. "All the world's a stage."  A rather famous quote from William Shakespeare. Elaine has always enjoyed reading and writing poetry; she has a passion for poetry and is able to see it in everything.
Some of the great authors that inspired her are: Robert Frost, Charles Dickens, Victoria Holmes, Rick Sowash, Emily Dickinson, and so many others. These authors knew how to create a world of thoughts, emotions, stories, adventures on paper. Nothing but ink and paper. Writing connects with Elaine in a way nothing else can.
Elaine has entered several writing competitions and succeeded beyond what she ever thought she could. "The way I look at writing competitions however, is not a competition but an opportunity to write." Elaine is fourteen and excited to be writing so much in her life. Writing has become something so much more than a strenuous task in elementary school. Writing has grown into her. She will continue to write for the rest of her life. Elaine is so thankful to all who helped her grow into who she is today; an author. Pen and paper, writing. Thank you.
