My whole life I have had a dream of writing the great American novel. I've been writing for as long as I can remember. I had notebooks filled with stories. I would sit at my moms prehistoric Mac for hours and type away. I have dreams about plot lines and when I am bored in a class I find myself writing snip-its of stories. But, somehow, I have never been able to start, write and finish a book. It is still a dream of mine, but for now, being a mom, nursing student, and work, it just isn't a priority.
That is why I have such admiration for those who have done it. I can't believe the way Diana Gabaldon can describe an era or how Hemingway can break my heart. I love them. I love books. And maybe, if I keep reading and thinking and dreaming, someday I can write one for myself.
