I want to become a writer.
11/9/08
I have a dream of becoming a proffesional writer. I am always working on something, even if it's just journal entries. However, my stories are usually half finished, and then I get writers block. Sometimes I force myself to write anyway, but my stories look forced. Maybe I'm too critical of myself, or my writing. My heart's desire right now is to finish a few pieces for my contest entries. I did enter a contest for an October deadline, but the spacing and spelling were garbage. But at least I finished writing something. Little by little. I am looking forward to enter the writer's digest short story contest. But, I have to be very careful withmy entry. It cost 12 dollars to enter. I have to make sure it's at least technically perfect. Less than that goes straight to the trash pile. The prize is 3,000 dollars. I hope I'll win one someday soon.

I have no other career prospects. Being on SSDI sucks. Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for what they give me. I just have dreams of overcoming my handicap. Wish me luck, no..wish me diligence.
