(Although you put it so much more eloquently!) I, too, love writing with a passion. It is my escape. <BR/><BR/>I'm majoring in Journalism, currently, but I don't know if a love of something is enough to go somewhere with it. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, keep up the blog. I'm loving it!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06343658123067887406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916213878195943004.post-79598246993407543302008-07-30T11:49:00.000-06:002008-07-30T11:49:00.000-06:00I remember when I decided I wanted to be a writer....I remember when I decided I wanted to be a writer... I was so small that my feet dangled from the dining room chair. Some point after this I must have mentioned to someone who pays bills that when I grow up I want to be a writer because all I remember was the laughter, the sympathic nod, and the comment of "you can't make any money doing that".<BR/><BR/>That's when writing became a verb for me instead of a dream. I have a carrer now that I love and yes, my bills are paid. I never let go of writing though, it makes me whole, keeps me sane, and it's the pinch I need whenever I think I'm dreaming. Will I ever get a book advance- I don't think so. I use writing for other things now.<BR/><BR/>My advise for you though as simple as it seems: Don't give up on your dreams. Don't "become" something you don't want to be when you know being a writer is who you are. Good Luck.I'm Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06481337606634575438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-916213878195943004.post-89712666521251231202008-07-29T08:37:00.000-06:002008-07-29T08:37:00.000-06:00You're fabulous for writing this.

It's some kind of mental block some of us have when it comes to the arts. <BR/><BR/>But really, I'm convinced that if we put in the effort, no matter what our field of endeavour, we'll be just as successful as the next person. <BR/><BR/>It's all about persistence. <BR/><BR/>I'm determined to believe this. :)Buffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01529901414066479088noreply@blogger.com
