FOUND: Inspiration

There's this quote that I ran across in one of my other "friend's" journal that really spoke to me on a deeper level. It says "It is never too late to be who you might have been." ~George Eliot. I thought back to when I was in college, and I would see all the older students in my classes. By older, I'm talking 40's-60s. I thought it was fantastic to see an older adult continuing their education for whatever reasons they may have decided. It just goes to show that its never to late to go back to school or to advance your career. I believe that subconsciously I've always wanted to be a writer. I have all kinds of stories in my head and have since I was a small child. I did the whole college thing but like most college graduates, I'm not working in my field of study which leaves my career life very unsatisfying. I'm at the point now where I feel like I'm pretty much at a standstill. I can't press the rewind button because it doesn't work nor can I fast forward. Somebody has pressed the pause button on the playlist to my life. I made an executive decision about a month ago that I was going to get my life moving. The George Eliot quote is the kick in the behind I needed. I genuinely want to be a writer and it's NOT too late for me so I'm taking steps to guide me in that direction. I've started a writing course so that I can tweak my technique and learn more about the ins and outs of becoming a published author. My biggest goal is to pen a children's book and have it accepted and published. I don't care what I write. I'd be glad to do articles for a newspaper or magazine. I just want to do what will give me satisfaction and make me happy. I'm trying to establish a writing habit . I usually would just write when inspiration struck but now I'm trying to write something everyday. The more I write the sooner I can get a manuscript finished. I'll keep my blog updated with how my program is going, the manuscript, etc.
