"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive.

And then go and do that.

Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

~Harold Whitman

Hello!

My name is Jess Mckenzie.

And I love to read and write. Since middle school, I developed this overwhelming passion to express my most inner feelings through stories and poems. I have books filled with pages upon pages to confirm my deep-rooted concentration and dedication to the art of creativity. I may still be young, and yes there is still a lot out there for me to learn, however, with each step I take (whether it be physically or mentally) I further my skills and sharpen my imagination.

My goal is to one day produce some hair-raising, heart-stirring, and awe-inspiring stories. It may take weeks, months, possibly years, but someday I will write them.

Until then…

I will join the domain of fan fiction, and aim to entertain my audience.

ATT: Delay in Speak 2

Hello readers,

Thank you all for your support, from the reviews, to the story alerts, to the even the private messages sent by the numerous Speak audience. It truly means the world to me. At first, I was a bit skeptical when starting this fan fiction. Will anyone like it? Will people literally smell the newbie wannabe writer, but once I noticed that that wasn’t the case, you the audience gave me the confidence to continue to write and become the more spirited writer that I am today. I know it has been a while since my last update, and I know it has probably upset a lot of you, so I am sending along with this message my apologies. To all those on my alert, you should have already received the private message addressing the story’s unfortunate holdup. To all of those who are unaware, I am promising you now that the story Speak 2 will eventually be resumed, however, not for a while.
