write a novel and not just any novel, a good, perhaps even brilliant novel (read all 2 entries…)
but it's destiny and other good excuses

I learnt to read when I was six years old and I loved books right away and I knew writing was something I wanted to do. In a way I imagine I am destined to become a writer. When I was eight, according to family lore, I told my mom I wanted to be an “arthur.” I never said I could pronunciate but I think I can write. I obsess about plot lines and characters and titles and never actually write anymore. I pretty much stopped completely with fiction and poetry in 2003 and just journal without discipline now. I started writing a story about two weeks ago but haven’t finished it. I need to be serious about this because you sure as hell aren’t going to be a writer if you don’t do any writing.

don't think I'm copying-I want to be an arthur too!

I said the same thing when I was about eight! Weird. Career counselors say to think back on what you wanted to do as a child and that’s what you should probably be doing as a career. I have written most of my life and just recently decided it would be nice to have someone read it! Good luck on your writing (even if it hasn’t been for awhile). You will write or start to again when you are supposed to.
