I am currently a Technology Service Representative at a financial company. I know it sounds really exciting, listening to old insurance salesmen who have no idea how to use a computer complain about how poorly the technology I make works. If only I actually had a hand in “making it” then I wouldn’t be answering those horrible calls.
Anyway, I have always wanted to be a writer. When I was a teenager I would spend hours writing poems or stories and would dream of being a great American fiction writer like Stephen King or Anne Rice. I would imagine I had endless amounts of stories and I could weave words into epic tales of adventure that ended in profound meaning.
Unfortunately I wasn’t very good at it, despite what my parents would say, I could never come up with a decent store and most of my thoughts would simply run on forever. But that never stopped me from trying and I spent a great deal of my teenage and young adult time writing.
As I got older however and the real world crept more and more into my daily life I found that I had stopped writing all together. I’m really not sure when I actually stopped I just know that with every day that passes writing seems like those fanciful dreams kids have when they are young, something that can never really be attained.
