Throughout my life I have always wanted to be a writer. I have started and never finished many stories/novels. I have a million ideas running through my head most of the time but nothing I think other people would be interested in.
I would love to be able to write "the great American novel" but that is a goal striven for by too many as it is. Right now I would just love to write a book that gathers a small following.
I've been writing short stories for most of my life. The first one I remember writing was in 3rd grade about a cat and a unicorn that became friends. It was about one page long and wasn't too shabby for an 8 year old.
Creative writing was my favorite part of English class all through grade school. I always waited for the day when the teacher would say "Now write a story about....." and then I could just let my mind wander to another world.
Most of the time my worlds were thrillers or slightly deranged. Even now the stories that I write are usually wrapped in mental mystery. My main characters are almost always going through some kind of mental breakdown or personal trauma.
Maybe that is because I always feel that I am going through something. I'm not. It's just the way my mind tends to work. I feel things very deeply and can be a bit dramatic at times.
But not everyone wants to read about the seemingly average girl, with a few friends who has debilitating panic attacks and fits of paranoia.
But until people do, that book will just continue to float around in my head with the other hundred thoughts that I have throughout the day.
