People always tell me I’m good but I have a tendency of comparing myself to other writers. I always see the bad in my writing and never the good and sometimes when I have a great idea, I realize that it’s already been written about.
Anyway, I wanted to pursue a career in writing…but of course, I always hear (from my mom mostly) that it’s not a stable career so in the meantime I’m doing teaching, minoring in Creative Writing. Hopefully it goes well..
When people I know read my stuff, I always get “Oh wow! when you’re famous, I’ll be the first one buying your copy” and this from one of my teachers—- “When you become a famous writer, don’t forget your goofy freshmen English teacher” I’ve been published in Teen Ink magazine and that’s it. Maybe somewhere down the road…something will come. I know that I’ll never stop writing. I can’t not write. Even if I feel my writing is mediocre, I still believe that maybe somewhere somebody out there can relate to the words that I write. I want to inspire.
When I was done with the 2 liter bottle of Diet Coke, I washed it and filled it up with water and then I put in in the fridge. I try to finish a bottle everyday and it’s more than 64 oz :)
