Chunk EditorTripp Watson wrote his first story at the age of 7 in pencil on four pages of loose leaf paper. It received little recognition from critics; however, he thought it was “not too bad.” Since then, he’s attended school for writing and gained certificates in copyediting and copywriting. He has various short stories published online, and you can find his rantings about living with anxiety on his mental health blog, OnPanic.
