Im Rachel, a 21-year-old writer from Toronto. Ive been writing for nine years and hold a BA in creative writing. On my channel, rachel writes, I document my writing journey and try to post once a week (usually on Fridays). DISCLAIMER: Im only one writer, and approach each video from my experience/expertise.
