So last year I lived in Florence, Italy and I blogged for my first few months there....today I went back and read those over...it was so interesting...I forgot so much and that helped me remember those important little details...it really does make me want to do this more often...time is against me

It's Friday, April 10th
I'm home in Union
dun dun dun

So I realize...I write, most often, to amuse myself...to serve my own needs

And what I want more than anyone is to be to someone else what other writers are to me
Because I have so many writer friends and we send each other the things we write
like dante and cavalcanti (<-- mah man ooh yea)
and when I'm bored, I just reread the things they send me
I must've read nicole's stories a thousand times, I know them like the back of my hand because I just love to read them over and over
I want to be that to someone
To have someone just want to read about Zooey and Dannny or Davis or Ace or Cari or Mona or Katie or Alicia or Tommy or any of the characters I create over and over again
you know?

That's better than fame

I know that I will never be the next JK Rowling or even Stephanie Myers

That's okay

I just want to do this though

As I'm getting older I'm bogged down with career paths - what should I do? what should I do?

It drives me crazy some days

I'd love to screenwrite

or do a book of short stories

I just need to be doing this, its what makes me happy, its what's made me happy since 6th grade

and I've seen how much I've grown since then and I've met the absolute best people in the world - I'm friends with some people soley because we write and now through LAS and even my Fiction class I'm meeting these amazing people, who I'm honored are even looking at the things I write, let alone enjoying them

and I should go shower lol
me nicole julio and mike (hopefully) are doing the usual friday night insanity
i can't wait

<3
