When I was a kid I would go around with my tape recorder (25+ yrs ago) and pretend I was a newspaper reporter. I always had a book in my hand and my most prized possesion was my entire collection of Nancy Drew. EVERY SINGLE ONE! As an adult I read voraciously but started to feel unfulfilled. Stories have always been a time of adventure and excitement. But nothing worked. I became tired or reading and it broke my heart. Everything I read I would start to rredo the story in my head to make it different. Then one day a lightbulb went off and I said "maybe I could learn how to do this" So I started down my path towards writerdom. I'm not sure I can even sell what I write so for now I'm writing for myself. <br /><br />Happy Writing<br />LisaL.A.

It took me a while to figure it out as I had always worked in design/illustration/advertising and I always considered myself more of a visual artist. But when I started writing a novel a few years ago, I realized that was what I was meant to do. I am hoping that I don't have to write things that bore me in order to make money (right now I'm aiming at selling what I like to write.) We'll see how that works out.<br /><br />LorenaThe Sisterhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889577041903181315noreply@blogger.com
