"I Gave Them All Away"

A friend of mine asked me the other day, “if you could do anything you wanted, what would you do?” Without blinking I said I would be a writer, something I’ve wanted to be for a very long time. He told me I should write and that he would read whatever I wrote and provide constructive criticisms if I want them. What I didn’t tell him is that I struggle with creating stories. I’m not good at pulling a plot and a story out of thin air, I’m not good at fiction. Well, this friend’s encouragement had gotten to me and I decided to start really writing a few days ago. I just had to decide what to write. I finally figured out what to write last night. I’ve decided to write what I can, to write what I know.
