In middle school I did a lot more drawing than writing, and hands were always my main weakness. I don't know why, but I just couldn't get the hang of it.<br /><br />One day I just got tired of drawing hands and focused more on the writing aspect. My comic books turned into prose, and now has become my current writing. All because I can't draw hands.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16074981028619191470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4300332596847087857.post-66783269500801212752012-07-02T15:10:14.349-07:002012-07-02T15:10:14.349-07:00A great read!

I have changed the names so I can't be sued on the off chance I find a publisher. Every now and then I post a piece of fiction but I announce it as such.
