This is my first blog, and my first shot at writing to the public. I am a fairly private person with fears of being judged. My mother would tell me that I was crazy for caring about what other people think of me and my work, and I would have to agree. Somewhere along the road however, I have picked up this fear....I should have left it lying in the road where I found it. So I have decided to start a blog. My lifelong dream to become an author of fantasy novels is no longer going to be a dream. I have resolved to make it a reality, and this blog is going to help me on my way. My hopes are that people will not only read my blogs about this journey to become a successful author, but will also give me feedback (both good and bad). I intend to strip away this self conscious shell and learn about the industry. I have made a goal to write one blog at least every two weeks. I would like them all to relate to some kind of breakthrough in my writing as well as my personal growth. I have taken on this project as a way of forcing myself to just write. I have been spending so much time thinking about what I'm going to write, that I probably could already have a book finished. I am going to stop worrying about whether my ideas are "good enough" and whether people are going to like my style of writing or not. I am going to learn how to become a better writer than I already am, and with the help of friends and readers, I will prefect my own unique writing style. I hope that others will join me on this journey and that perhaps my story will help others.
