Perhaps I never will. But as long as I have ideas I want to share and characters I want to bring to life, there isn't any real reason for me to give up trying. I've believed for a while that if I were to ever write a book, it would have to be to please others, it has to be a story that relates to the "now," something cool, something everyone can enjoy. But that was my problem. It was because of this belief that I ended up limiting myself while writing my first novel, "Once in a Blue Moon." I was trying too hard, and without thinking, rushed through what might have been an amazing story. When I picked up the first hardback copy I received in the mail I felt this enormous excitement! Finally, I've done it. I've written a book! Then I flipped through the pages, and as soon as I began reading aloud the first few sentences I felt my excitement fading, fading, and when I came to the end of the first chapter I remember the horror and the embarrassment. No. This isn't good. The book isn't good. This horrible feeling coursed through me as my thoughts raced now, "No, everyone will read this. They'll see how bad it is and they'll think I'm a horrible writer." I couldn't stop myself from thinking this, and so after months of feeling bad for myself I began to get back into reading. I found an incredible fascination with the work of Anne Rice, and so fell in love with her style of writing, the detail, the life she puts into her stories and her characters, and that's when I came to a realization. If I am to ever write a story, it will be to express my own imagination, without the burden of wondering what others might think. And if I will ever get the time to write another story, I will have to take my time.view less
