I'm newly 23, very new, my birthday is Halloween which for me is today but I don't want to edit this again but there you have it lol.  My interest in writing started in the senior year of high school when I took a creative writing class.  Ms. Gray my teacher,  she was the first to notice that I had a talent in writing.  Its always been in the back of my mind to start writing but I've been persuing a degree in early childhood education.  Thats what I've always wanted to do, work with children.  I didn't start writing again until I got bored.  I was unemployed since July (I just recently got a job) and I got bored.  I'm not sure where exactly the idea came from but I started reading more and then I decided to write and then I made it one of my goals to write a novel.

I just recently realized how badly I do want to write a book, to complete something, to show my creative work. Words are so powerful and whether they are lyrics to a song, lines in a movie, a paragraph in a book… they have the power to move people, bring them joy or sadness, excitment, and even anger. They have the power to change the way a person thinks and maybe even change a person’s life. I want to write a book not only to do all those things but to prove to myself that I can because really I do have the creativty it requires to write a fictional novel. But it isn’t until I started reading a book and comparing my writing to a famous person author who has a dozen books published that I started wondering “can I really do it?”  I don't let those thoughts get the best of me because really I'm enjoying myself.  And because I caught myself a time or two reading a book and wondering how on earth did this person get published.  So I take it one day at a time, one idea at a time, and go from there.  I've got about ten ideas for books bouncing around in my head, all based on some part of my life, then I take that part of my life and I twist and exaggerate it and have fun with it.
