Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted in this blog... I think I need to do something about that. Oh wait, I am right now! Sooooo, anyway...
I've had a lot of ups and downs since my last post but I don't feel like talking about them right now since its taken me all this time just to put them behind me. I have a much more positive view on life right now, and I don't want to ruin that by looking back!
I've recently decided to do something that I've always wanted to do, but never had the courage for: write a graphic novel. I've loved reading them for years and I've always wanted to create one, but I've always thought "I could never do that!". Recently I've realized something very important: the only person who told me that I can't do it is ME!! I mean, I can draw as well as the next person, which means that I will only get better with practice, and I create stories in my head all the time - so why don't I try it? I have nothing to loose, and I'll only regret it later if I never try. So I decided... to try. I suppose I shouldn't say 'try', I should just say 'do' and then follow through with that.
I know some people will think I'm crazy. Okay, a lot of people will think I'm crazy! My family thinks I'm weird to even READ this stuff, I can't imagine how well its going to go over when I tell them that I'm currently writing one!!!
I'm not expecting to make any money at this or anything. I'm not saying I wouldn't LOVE to make money with this, it's just that it's not my focus. I don't expect it to pay the bills but, since I have no husband or children, I can focus all my time on completing something that will make me feel like I've accomplished something in my life. I don't want to be the person who starts a lot of things but never finishes them.
I will continue to post my progress here. I know this will be REALLY hard but, I have to admit, I'm kind of excited about it too! Even though it isn't written yet, I keep thinking "Gee, I hope SOMEBODY likes this story!". It's the people-pleaser part of me coming out. But I know that as long as I like it, that will be enough for me. For now... ;)
