Re: Wow!!

Thanks, Ms. Burnham. After 1 year (I'm 14 now!!)I have realized that my family isn't going to support my dream of becoming a writer. My friends want me to become a lawyer. They say that I am good at convincing people things and presenting things, but I think that is what makes a good writer, to be able to convince the people reading the story that they are reading. When I read a story, I don't find it a very interesting story if I don't get lost in it, if I don't zone out and feel like I m actually there. My mother still insists that the life of a writer is complicated, full of disappointments, and just plain hard. But i can live with hard times, I'm a tough cookie. Thanks for the inspiration, it has really helped, this year has been one of my hardest.
Thanks again!
