@TheSecretKeepersBand Then, please don't read Lolita then, EVER. It made me feel like I never wanted to write again.

Question: At what point would you be considered to have sucked enough to attempt your first published work>?

[RiskyBrothers]

maureen, ok i'm 14, so ms.Johnson, im a boy, so i'm not sure if I should suck 'long and hard' that much
