Lizzie Braskett

Lizzie Braskett, Reporter

For most people, writing can be boring, but not for Lizzie Braskett (10).

Lizzie is a bright sophomore with a beautiful talent: she loves to write her own stories. Lizzie writes about fan fiction, dark romance and fantasy.

She’s very outgoing with her stories and loves the details.

Lizzie says, “my other one [story] usually had like an average of 750 words to 1100, which is more difficult than it really sounds because you got to think of details and something that doesn’t contradict.”

Lizzie is always thinking of new stories to write. She loves to write because it helps her be less stressed.

Lizzie says she writes “mainly as a stress reliever, but lately I haven’t been doing it because I just haven’t had any motivation.”

Sometimes Lizzie can get tired of writing and trying to figure out what to write about, but she still loves what she does as her hobby and loves her stories the way they are.
