My name is Luke VanDeWeert. I love to write and am rather talented as one. I decided to join the newspaper--er, "news site" staff this year in order to have more people read my work, considering I wasn't getting enough attention with just essays in classes. I am currently writing an action novel, and have some desire to be a screenwriter and maybe a historian, My personal favorite is Michael Crichton (it's pronounced liked "frighten," by the way, to those who say it like, "cricshton"), and greatly aspire to be as good as, if not better than, him.Other than that, I like to write reviews and opinion articles. Expect some more of my writings on the website.
