An introduction… “And I don’t know why but with you I’d dance in a storm in my best dress, fearless”
Here goes nothing… I am twenty three years old and I am a writer. I’ve learned a lot so far, but not nearly enough to get published yet. This is my story, my journey if you will, to get an idea from my brain to this computer to a publisher’s desk to the shelf at the bookstore. I have always enjoyed writing and it’s about time I turned that into something that meant something to someone other than me. I’m not huge into best sellers and all that, though I’ve read more than my fair share. If I get a best seller by the time I die, well awesome. If not, it’s not the end of the world. I want to write a story that touches someone, that reminds them that life isn’t so bad when you look at it through someone else’s eyes. It’s not much, but it’s my attempt. What will follow this entry will likely be rants about my life and trying to figure out how to get the emotions I feel onto paper in a way this is neither cheesy nor cliche, since that was always an issue of mine in class. Influences/Inspiration: Music, the classics, movies, my friends, my family, my LIFE, the random people I meet on the street.If you fall into any of those catagories, you’ll no doubt be a part of this, whatever this is. I’ve got a few novel ideas and some short stories that have been keeping me going. So let see what comes of this, shall we? On to the journey…
I feel like I could have written that post. I am glad I am not the only frustrated anna-be writer out there trying to make it somewhere, sometime.
