Going with the personal approach, sounded very fitting for this. I think it's good to share your personal stories, maybe give inspiration for someone else to do the same.

I know it sounds like I'm starting how Jugdhead would on Riverdale about what's happening to them that day in the town with pep. But, I like to tell stories. And this one, happens to be true.

I grew up with parents who never saw eye to eye. They tried so hard to do what was right for the family. But in the end, they had to go their separate ways to make their lives more peaceful, easier to live in.

And me? I understood it. It honestly felt better without the fighting and confusion on what was going on around me. And skip ahead a few more years, and trouble just seemed to flow. Seperation, heartache, emptiness.

I withdrew into myself. And that's when I realized, I had a passion for writing. It let me escape into other worlds I conjured up or merely watched on tv at night. I felt in control in these worlds, knowing I could have free will with no problems anywhere to be seen.

With inspiration from the very talented Stephen King, I grew to love writing more and more. And it's a dream of mine to one day, have a book published.

I drive to make it real. To someday, walk into a Barnes and Noble and actually see my name printed on a book, will be the most amazing day of my life.

It's every aspiring writers dream. And I won't give up on that. I think Katy Keen has shown me, that your dreams should be followed.

Your dreams are important. It's your passion. And writing? Is the best thing that ever happened to me. It saved me.

And I'm thankful every day for the opportunities I'm given and for the people in my corner, rooting me on. Telling me I can do it. Having a support system.

My mom is mine. And I don't know where I'd be without her. She's shown me that I should never stop believing. Never give up. Never stand down. And don't let anyone tell you, you can't do it.

Because you can. It's more than possible. Life can get hard. It can get messy. It's not always easy. But don't let it knock you down. You can do it.

I believe life always has a way of coming full circle. And you'll make it. Never give up. And always? Be yourself. I know that sounds cheesy. But it's important.

Needless to say, writing has gotten me to a place in my life where I feel alive again. And I'm thankful everyday for it. So just like Katy, I'm going to follow my dreams. And one day, I hope to become an accomplished writer.

So I one day have many stories to tell my children.  And give them the imagination I was so blessed to get.
