Month 2 of making strives in pursuing a dream. I've been attending my weekly writer's workshop at The Last Bookstore (okay it has only been two sessions). I have to admit that the members of the group are amaziiing writers and I feel quite intimidated by their eloquent writing. The critique I got last week is that I must keep the voice of my character in present tense. I need to find a good grammar book to guide me through the editing process. I do have good news that my story is charming and that I have a winner according to Jill's notes. I finally received the critique that I needed and the motivation of making my story even better.
A friend of mine recommended me to read "The Alchemist" and I am glad that I decided to buy a copy of the book, because I truly understand what the boy is going through and the whole idea of "Personal Legends"...
This is a novel that has hit the right chord in me about going for the impossible dream. It is interesting how I decided to read a novel that I can relate too. I feel like Sebastian from the "Neverending Story.." I am soo happy that I have taken the huge step of trying to make my personal dream a reality. I know it is scary but at the end it will be very rewarding and I will never feel like I didn't try at all.
