wannabe \ˈwä-nə-ˌbē\ n.

1 : a person who wants or aspires to be someone or something else

I’m a wannabe.  I’ll admit it.  I’ve never published anything. 

I’m at the very beginning of my writing  journey, but I want to be one of the authors I’ve enjoyed reading over the course of my life.  I was the type of kid that couldn’t wait to get to the library each week, and haven’t changed much.  My favorite type of reading (and writing) is pretty much anything geared towards children and young adults.  I get so excited to share my favorite books with my third grade class!

I am enjoying the adventure so far and I’m looking forward to creating a finished piece, even if nothing comes of it.  I want to know what it feels like to have a story in my hands that I created from beginning to end.  I’ve already learned so much in the last few months and can’t wait to keep learning. 

I’m also very grateful to my bud, Regan, for making me feel a little more confident about my writing.  I was nervous to even mention I was doing it, but she’s really pushed me and pointed me in the right direction.  So, in the words of Ellen Degeneres…”Holla!” 

If you are anything like me and feel a little silly admitting you have this passion to people in your life…well, I say tell everyone you meet!  Ok, maybe that’s a bit much, but don’t be afraid to seek out people to help you and guide you along the way. ;-P

Grab a chair and kick up your feet.  I hope you enjoy reading about the trials and tribulations of a wannabe.
