Welcome!!

Hey!

I'm Katie, and I aspire to be an author. It's the one thing I'm dying to be, more than anything. This blog is probably going to be ignored be all, but just in case it's not, I'm going to explain this all.

I used to hate reading, let alone writing, all together, until I read a book in early 7th grade, when I was twelve years old. This book alone took me ages, and after I finished it, I started reading other books, by random authors, no real series or genre. Later that year, I fell in love with a series, and then another, and, as time passed by, I found a love for writing, too. My first story was written grammatically boring, and much too short. In August of 2007, I read the Twilight books, and fell in love. These books brought me much further into the writing world. I write fanfictions on fanfiction.net, and have been doing so for over a year. These helped me, because I was able to see how other people felt about my ideas, and was able to look back at them all, and see, by amount of reviews and by my own taste, how my writing style has changed, and what I wanted to work on to make me a better author.

I started to have ideas about real books that I could actually write when I was 13, and have no idea when I had the first idea, but I never tried to write one until I turned 14. When I chose my idea, I had low hopes for myself. In my mind, I had no hope of writing a detailed, well written, book, I didn't think I could keep myself interested in my own novel, and thought I'd give up on it before I reached 20,000 words. At this point, my hopefully-to-be-novel is 28,116 words long, and 13 chapters long. Each chapter I wrote got a minimum amount of words, that I stuck to and went over, of 2,000 words each.

This blog is where I'm going to post how my books going, how my search for a literary agent is going, once I start it, and then, if I get a literary agent, my publishing process. My goal for this blog is, for the moment, to write an entry or two a week, but if nothing big happens, I won't usually blog. This blog, because of it's length, is done.
