A Wannabe Writer

    I like to write. I do not presume I will ever be paid for anything I write though it is a favorite fantasy of mine. I know I could fill a book with words and I believe I could actually write something that someone would want to finish once they started. I have always enjoyed a vivid and productive imagination. It has always been easy for me to make things up. I'm not talking about lying. I am a terrible liar. I don’t mean I'm terrible because I lie a lot. I mean I suck at it and I have lots of guilt after I tell a lie. Well that’s another story that I think I will write about for another day. Anyway I love to read fiction. You know action, drama, horror and anything but romance. I like a little romance in the stories I read but I have never read a novel with a drawing of a love scene on the cover. Maybe it’s the same thing as my reluctance to try sushi. I can’t say I don’t like it because I have never tried it. I don’t think I would like either so it will probably be a while before I find out. Some of the books I have read I feel are from a genius beyond my capabilities. But sometimes I read a book and think, "I can do better than that." So far I have only one fan. She reads everything I present to her, sometimes while I am watching, and gives me feedback that makes me feel like I have really done something.
