I write not only because it helps me with preparing for my future (high school, college, medical school, anesthesiology residency, then becoming an anesthesiologist. I'm ambitious for a 13 year old! XD) but because I like to. When I think, I usually think about: IchiRuki and my fanfiction. I like thinking: "What if this had happened?" and I pretend it does. I think about the theme song, how popular my OC's would be if they were real characters, those reviews I'm going to get, et cetera. It just gives me something to do that I enjoy. I get all these ideas in my head. (recent one: Rukia makes Ichigo go to ChappyCon; they're cosplaying as Chappy and Yuki; Ichigo is not too happy, to say the least.) I've actually never written a fanfiction that has been open to public, but I shall soon. The only stories I've released to the public were for school though. XD
My parents wouldn't approve of me putting a real picture of myself on the Internet so I have to wait until I scan a drawing I did... But, anyway, I think this is a really great idea and judging from your other artworks look really great too! =D
