yep!

i'm going to be a writer. i've been reading a book recently and i realized today that i could write something more interesting. if i want to, i can be a writer. and i'm starting to believe that i want to. i'm writing a fun story about magical mittens and a relationship between a mother and daughter right now. that's my fun project.

but i'm also writing a book on life. i really think i can do this, and i'm starting to get excited. i'm starting to have dreams again. i feel a passion coming back.

here's an excerpt from the mitten story...it's still in progress so if you want the rest, you'll have to wait.

--Glittens. That’s what she called them. They were gloves, but yet they were mittens. She made sure to take them everywhere she went. Even in the summer, Ella wore her ‘glittens’.

They were yellow with bright green, turquoise, and mint green designs knitted neatly into the middle. The ‘mitten’ part folded over the halfway covered gloved fingers—just the four of them. The thumb had a ‘glitten’ of its own. There was a slit in the middle of the thumb, right where the crease is in the skin. And whenever Ella wanted to free her opposable digit, she just bent and slid, and it popped right out—naked as ever. The ‘glittens’ were hers’ and they were magnificent!--

i'm going to write, and inspire. yep. i am.
