I have wanted to be a writer. I've wanted to see my book on the shelf of a bookstore, my picture on the back cover, and my words on the pages. I still want that. It gets stronger and stronger the older I get. Maybe I feel that time is running out?
Whenever I go a few days without writing I feel it physically. It's an ache, a longing, an addiction. It cannot truly be explained unless you have experienced it yourself. The words almost DEMAND to be written. They won't let me sleep, or rest, or focus on anything else until I get them down on paper.
There's a story within me now, with characters so real I feel they are with me in this very room. They are waiting for me to write their story so they can live.
Popped over from the WD site and I got to be your first follower! I love finding people you share the same passion for writing as me.
ReplyDeleteThanks Trisha!
ReplyDeleteYes, Tammy, I too feel that ache on the days I don't have an opportunity to write. Good for you pursuing your dream! In small increments of time I've managed to finish a first draft of a novel. I know you can do it! (I also found you from the WD post you sent out!)
ReplyDeleteThank-you, Holly!
