Here I go again, blabbering on about my writing experiences. Why do I still go on and on about such, especially since I JUST published an article about how I hate my OWN writing?
Well, this time, I'm here to tell you that I want to write a novel someday.
For as long as I can remember (perhaps at least 10 years), it's been a dream of mine. One time, I was a nine year old boy who was so curious that I randomly asked my father how old you had to be to write a book. His answer of "nine" amazed me. I was kind of confused because I definitely could not imagine a nine year old writing a book - you really don't see nine year olds being published when they're not even at a two digit age - but I was also fascinated at the fact that it is a possibility. I knew it was something I wanted to do.
But of course, as I was so young, I knew that I still had a long way to go growing up. I didn't know much. I didn't know if I was even good at picking up a pencil and writing a full page of thoughts. So it's safe to say that I wasn't exactly serious about writing a book so soon. What the heck would come out of my adolescent mind anyway?
However, the idea has never left my mind. More than a decade later, I have come a long way. I discovered that my passion was indeed writing and I definitely wanted to create a lot of content from my own heart, with a novel possibly being one of them.
I've actually been thinking of ideas for quite a while. I know that for starters, I want to write a fictional story, maybe even one of fantasy. There are a lot of fictional stories that I like so much that some of my ideas are inspired by them. Yet, I love the idea of being the brains behind an original idea that could literally be whatever I want it to be.
Right now, I still have a long way to go before this dream ever comes true - I want to earn my degree in English with a writing concentration and find an occupation out of it. But the good thing is that I'm already proving my writing skills as I have been writing for two different publications and also editing for both. Someday, I will write hundreds and and hundreds of pages to make a novel that I hope will be a bestseller.
You can do anything that you set your mind to. Period.
