Explore, Dream, Discover!

Ok, ok, I know: it's been a while. I apologize for not writing, there is no excuse for my shameful behavior. And a big thank you to my friend, John, for reminding me that I still even have a blog! And thank you also for pointing out that I have been neglecting it for the past month. Well, almost a month.

So, for anyone else who reads my blog or cares (which probably isn's very many) I am sorry. Life got in the way of my writing. I kept making excuses not to post, like "finals are next week" or "it's christmas break!" or "I don't have any ideas". But that's just me being lazy and being the way I've been ever since I was born. I've always had trouble sticking with things, especially when the going gets rough.

I realize that there are no excuses, though, because I am working towards a larger goal. There is one thing I want to do in my life, one thing I have always wanted to do: write. I want to be an author, and write a book that will be loved by thousands. I am working on one right now, but that is a topic for another post.

Anyway, the only way that I can reach that ultimate goal of being an author is if I practice writing. Practice, practice, practice! And I can't make excuses. The only way anyone ever got good at anything is by working hard and never giving up; something many people seem to have forgotten these days. Oh geez, now I sound like an old person...

Basically, what I'm trying to say through these ramblings of mine, is that I am sorry I haven't written in so long, and I will try my hardest to post more often. I will try to stick to my goal, and work hard until I get there. And I will leave you all with the following message:

Never give up. Never stop trying. If you want it, go get it. Sure, it's a hell of a lot easier said than done, but imagine how great you will feel when you do accomplish your goals! I feel better just writing this post, because I know I am on my way. I know I can make it; I can be an author. All I have to do is try.

As one of my favorite authors, Mark Twain, once said "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

You don't ever have to listen to me: I'm just a twerpy American teen. But I'd listen to my good pal Mark if I were you; he knows what he's talking about ;)

Now get along, it's Christmas! Spend time with your families, enjoy your loved ones, and God Bless Us, Every One!
