=**__Writes Profile__** = **Liz is a writer. Liz believes that most people write in an attempt to show readers the world through their own eyes. To help their readers understand why it is the writer feels how they feel, and persuade their reader to agree with them. She believes in order to become an accomplished writer, one needs to be able to appeal to a wide variety of readers, and in order to attain the attention of the audience, and keep hold of it, they must carefully choose a topic of which they are going to write, and make sure they are well educated on it, as to not spread misinformation. Liz feels authors are inspired, like herself, by their own personal experiences, and past and current world events, manipulating information in order to create an appealing story. Liz most prefers to write about herself, and her life, as she has a strong knowledge base in this area. She believes writing, as an art form, always starts with an idea, simple as it may be, which becomes a base. After that details must be added to the concoction until it becomes a masterpiece. She first learned to write in grade school, and now writes in places she feels most comfortable, like her home and school. Liz does not consider herself a literary genius, but believes the only way to achieve greatness, in any area, is continual practice. **
