Sometimes I wonder if I'm really good enough to be published. I'm so impatient, but I know I still have a long time to get better. Currently, I'm working on two books, and have plans to start two more soon. One will be started in November for NaNoWriMo. :) Wouldn't it be the most beautiful feeling to go to a store and see YOUR BOOK with YOUR NAME on it, there on the shelf?
I know that lots of people --probably most everybody-- wants to be famous...and for that reason some people may laugh at my dream. But I don't want to be famous because I'm a model, or I'm a movie star, or I'm some big sports player, or I'm related to the President (and thank God I'm not!). I want to give something to people. I want to accomplish something in my life. I want the faces of young people to brighten when they hear my name, because a book they dearly love comes to mind...MY book. I want them to have copies of my books in their house, well-worn and falling apart because they have been loved so much. I want them to get so caught up in my story and my characters that to them it's something real...just like it is for me.
Do you ever feel this way?
I'll never be a Tolkien or a Lewis or an Austen...
but who ever wants to be like somebody else? I pray that God will someday allow me, in a unique way, to give the gift of my writing to the world.
After all, He didn't give me that gift of writing for nothing.
Nor the love of fantasy.....

Hey, I was wondering, what's your Nano username? Mine is ElvishAuthoress (i. e. PLEASE ADD ME SO WE CAN BE FRIENDS ON THERE! *spazz* *facepalm*)
Lolz..hyped up on writing. And journalling (online). All drunk on writing and stuff in general. And computer stuff. Good too. ^^
