Dustin Frueh

Hello, one and all.

  My name's Dustin, and I've been fascinated with the written word since the summer of 1993, when I discovered Stephen King's Misery. I have been a Constant Reader ever since.. King's On Writing is very near and dear to my heart. I've read it three times now, and with every instance, I walk away with more knowledge that I either didn't know before or something I'd forgotten about. It's also incredibly inspiring. I look at it this way: if Sai King return to the craft after his horrific accident in '99, then anyone with the drive and desire can write, too!


 I believe it was in the 7th grade that we were asked to come up with an original story based on one we'd read in class. I completed the assignment with relish. It wasn't until later that out teacher informed me that I was the only student to turn in a creative paper. The rest of the class basically copied said story from the book.
 Then in the 8th grade I wrote a paper on the assassination of JFK (a subject I'm still passionate about,) and got an A+ from my U.S. History instructor. I wish those early writings were still around. Sadly, I lost them years ago..



 In the spring of 2007, I embarked on what would become the basis of my yet incomplete novel, for a creative writing class. That class, and professor especially, singe-handedly changed the way I look at fiction forever. I haven't been the same since. Nor would I want to. I'm striving to be the man God made me to be!



 (BTW, I wouldn't be at this awesome site if not for my good friend, Amber, and her passionate recommendation for Wattpad! Thank you, again!)
