Yesterday I spent the better part of my day sitting in the library writing a short story. It was not for a class, it was not for a distraction during class, nor any other academic reason. I had an idea that I have been trying to figure out what to with for a while and I finally just took the time to run with it. It was very satisfying to take some time out to write without having any sort of deadline or a professor staring me down. Usually when I write I am never satisfied and/or I just get frustrated in knowing that no progress will ever be made, and therefore was a waste of my time. However, after reading some of the stuff by Liz Funk and knowing that she is a young, published writer is very encouraging. It gives me some hopes as to eventually, maybe, possibly being a published writer myself. It is also part of the reason why I have decided to stick with my spontaneous short story.

learning about someone that is our own age who has accomplished so much makes me feel like I could do something like this, but also as if I have not accomplished enough in my life. I can't believe how young she is and is already been published. Im glad that she has been an inspiration to so many people. if writing is something that you want to persue in life i definitely think that nothing should get in the way of it, and that finding time to write things that satisfy you is extremely important! Maybe you should post your story when you are done with it!!
