Writing~possible career?

Yesterday was Christmas and as my mom and I sat listening to my stepdad and his sister, brother-in-law, and kids chat, she mentioned something surprising. I was telling her about how I had gotten an A in my English class, that I thought I wouldn't. She said she knew I could because I've always been good at writing. And then she mentioned that she thinks I'd be an excellent writer, professionally! How awesome was that? Of course, I love writing, and I always have, and I have thought about it-becoming a writer, but not seriously. She has always given me hope and encouragement, but that one tiny statement, really hit home. Could I really be a professional writer? I know I couldn't now, because I'm not that advanced, but if I pursued writing, instead of biology? What if I actually lived out my dream, tried to pursue it, instead of 'dreaming'? I've always admired Steven King. He is my mom's altime favorite writer, and seems to be mine also. I love his imagination! How does he come up with such stories? What could he possibly be thinking? I love it. His amazing mind fascinates me! I guess since I am thinking of, yet, another career choice, I have not yet stuck with one. I always change that...Once I think I'm set with a major, I go and change it...Thinking of a new one. I'm 21 years old...When will I really decide and stick with it? I guess we'll see....

Christmas Season

Happy Christmas everyone! And welcome to my blog! I've always loved journaling, and this is the perfect website for the 'passionate writer', such as myself. ;-) Even though Christmas isn't until about...an hour and a half from now, my family and I celebrated our's today, on good ol' Christmas Eve. It's always fun watching all of my little nieces and nephews open all of their presents, because their sooo adorable! Except, Nic couldn't be here...my sister-Liz-her baby boy, who is a little over one-years-old, because they live in Phoenix. But- luckily, the other four do not live so far aways...just practically down the road! I've always told myself that when I eventually have kids, i will not name them anything starting with the letter A- and here is why- I have 5 nieces and nephews- Alex, Alexia, Ally, Aden, and Nic. How insane is that??? But, nonetheless, way cute. And of course, after i got to thinking about it, my top choice for a little girl is...get ready for it...Anastasia, Anna for short. Go figure.
Well, it's not too late, but i still gotta get up early to drive to Phx. with the fam, so better get some shut eye. Keep on reading and stay tuned for all my drama, drama, drama!
