Your thesis idea: 

An biography about the mysterious life and death of my grandmother, Caroline, whose life I will come to know through interviews with family members and what friends I can find, as well as the small amount of journals and letters she left behind.

Why you are a writer: 

After I wrote my first poem, I couldn't stop. The idea of creating something out of nowhere made my 7-year-old heart pound. I guess in a way it still does.

First thing you ever wrote:  

A poem about Autumn, prompted by the phrase "Autumn is..."

What your writing practices are? How often? How long? Where? With? Etc.

Sporadic. Unorganized. Sometimes five minutes, sometimes 5 hours. Sometimes everyday, sometimes not for weeks. And usually in my room, warding off interruptions from my 6 housemates. But, sometimes I take myself on writing dates and go to a park or a cafe.
