I have thought long and hard about what sort of blog I should like to have. I once made a blog dedicated to giving advice to others, but quickly realized that I had not much advice to give. The one thing that I have come continuously back to throughout my life is writing, it is the one constant in my heart.
My first dream in life was to be a ballerina and to dance on the stage of the broadway musical CATS. My second dream was to be an author. I began writing poetry and short stories in middle school and wrote constantly until I reached college. At that point I took a break from writing.. or at least I tried to. I participated in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and finished the draft of a novel in 31 days. After that, I really did take a break aside from occasionally editing the manuscript. Now that I have graduated university with a BS and have successfully married my charming and supportive husband, I've decided to give it another go.
Even during my breaks from writing, it was constantly on my mind. I would scribble story or character ideas on receipt paper, my heart would jump at the sight of unfilled notebooks, just waiting to be dedicated to a story. Now, I've pledged to take part in NaNoWriMo again and see what comes of it.
It's time to chase my dream.
What are you doing to achieve yours?
