I've never been good at keeping up with things like this but this time... this time will be different.
So as of right now I'm 15, a sophomore, and a thespian. That's my life. Or so it seems. That's how most people see me. As a fifteen year old who is in school and drama geek. Yes all those things are true but what they don't know is that when I get home... I'm a writer.
From the second I get home and finish my homework to right up until I go to bed.... I'm writing. As of right now I'm writing my second-the first one wasn't as good as planned- novel. It's a bit confusing to explain what its about so I'll save that for another post. I love writing. Its my passion. Currently the only person who has read my work is my best friend Becca... But I hope to change that.
About two days ago I was doing some research about writing contests for teens and I found one I really liked. So I entered. It wasn't anything spectacular, just something to get my name out there. I don't expect to win on my first try but hey, you never know.
Now I can't plan exactly how my trip down the road to being a published author will be but I can say that as of right now... I haven't even left the neighborhood.
CHECKPOINT 1:
- Enter first writing contest- CHECK
- Begin writing novel-CHECK
- Get someone to read novel-CHECK
