When I was a child I would spend hours alone in my room,writing poems and doing artwork.I would imagine wonderful worlds far away that I could visit and enjoy.I was very creative.In my English class, we were given a writing assignment, and today my instructor blew me away.She said,"Mary you have a natural gift for writing!" I can't tell you how excited I am to hear those words!She really loved my work and I have always wondered if I could be a writer!I have always loved to read,and I love to read fantasy.Some of my favorite books are the ones that take you to another world and you feel like you are really there.I want to write like that.
I Want to Add that I have a Very Dear Al-Anon Friend that Recently Turned 84.... Just Last Year She STARTED HER FIRST BOOK :) I think it is Wonderful... She too Said She Always Loved to Write, and Read, and Now She is Also BLIND... But She has Muttered thru and Taught herself how to Type, (She never did till after she was Blind) and I Just think Her Strength & Courage is Amazing...
So I Say... GO FOR IT :) Make those dreams Come true... :) Good Luck :)
Follow your dreams, enjoy the journey - do things that weren't possible before! That's my plan and I'm sticking to it...
Have a blast doing it too!! You deserve to give it a try - what do ya got to loose?
