It's not what I expected it to be, you know, just write whatever you want and expect everybody to like it or understand it.<br /> <br />That was before I even knew what a plot was. Yeah, I was pretty naive to begin with, but I was like ten and only did it because my sister wrote stories and I wanted to be like her. <br /><br />But it's funny, she's kind of stopped and I kept going and found out, I love writing.

I mean, I've KNOWN that, but it never really sunk in until recently. I came to a place where I realized there was no way I'd be able to make myself completely satisfied with my story in one draft, so I might as well just write and worry about the details later.

Every time I write I find more and more that this is true. The best books are the ones that refuse to let you walk away. They are the ones that make you come back until they are as complete as they can be. I don't think a story ever truly ends.

I think I really confused my dad... Lol <br /> But something I've learned about writing is that... you can't do it alone. You need friends and help and support, like this blog. My cousin has been my biggest supporter and the two of us have been writing for over two years (Since we were 11). But writing is such a blessing. I'm so glad to have found this blog! It has helped me SO much! Thank you so much for helping me to become a better writer! I'm super sorry I missed most of the retreat! :( *Sob* I was painting the ceiling to my little sister's room with my big sis while we sang into our paintbrushes...
