Sometimes I sit down at the computer and the words pour out of me. Fingers fly over the keyboard, unable to keep pace with the ideas rushing forth to get down on the screen. Those stories are easy, the ones that write themselves.
Other times, the right lines, plots, words are more elusive. Those stories can take months (or longer) to gel, until I find the right inspiration to bring it all together. Those stories are harder, yet far more satisfying.
A jumble of words waiting to take shape into something bigger, better, than they were alone.
I'm starting to wrestle one of those stories to the ground. Only a few hundred words in, I love where the story will go if I actually take it the distance. But a few hundred words in, I also have to wonder whether anyone will want to read my words.
When I pick up a book, I devour it. I'm consumed by the characters, the plot, all the tiny details that make a story great. Hopefully one day you guys will be that entranced in one of my tales - and I can say I have a book of my own.
One day...

I think you most definitely have what it takes to have your own book. Your stories are fantastic!
Keep the dream alive, girl!
oh i will definitely be reading ....write it!
And one day when you're a rich and famous author, with a pseudonym, I can tell everyone I know your real name and that you sent me Yankees tickets.
I love your stories! I am always entranced by them and disappointed when they end. Keep them coming!
