Life can be full of surprises. Some good, some bad, but not always unexpected. I've found that in my sixteen years of life that there is no sure way of knowing what the future holds, but with careful planning, a head full of dreams and a heart full of ambition, anything is possible. Although I am un-published (at the moment) I consider myself a writer and a novelist, for my entire life revolves around writing books. Of course, exams are also important, but having a moment of solitude with your own thoughts once in a while can't really hurt. I take pride in my work, each page I write is a doorway into my eccentric mind, helping me better understand myself.
I am currently writing a twelve part Urban Fantasy series for Teens like myself and have started getting opinions from friends at school who have volunteered to read the first book so I can improve it before I even try to find an agent. I took advice that I found on the internet, which told me to re-draft it twice after getting an opinion from others. Although I see the series as more of a feminine set of novels, I have had around six of my male friends volunteering, two of which know my series inside out almost as good as I do!
As you can probably tell, it is my dream to be published and I will stop at nothing to achieve my goal. This blog serves a good purpose. To slowly calculate my journey in writing and hopefully help others in the same predicament. I may not be able to update it as often as I'd like - due to the lack of internet in my own house - but I hope that I can inspire others.
My mother once wrote in my Christening card, a phrase which has inspired me to this day:
Hold onto you dreams tight, because one day they might come true.
