Ok so you should know from my first post that I want to be a young adults author, however I didn't really go into detail as to why thats what I want to do. You see when I go into the bookstore these days it feels like almost every book is targeted for girls (no offense girls). As a guy there isn't really anything that you would want to be caught dead reading. Normally it seems like there are only books involving vampires, boarding schools, or love triangles (you know its true). This is where part of my aspiration for writing comes in, when I write I ask myself the question "what would I want to read?" Then I try to think of what others would want trying to get a balance so that its not leaning too far in one direction, that way say your a guy reading the same book as a girl, but you don't care because it's not targeting a specific gender. Another aspect of my wanting to be an author corresponds a little with the previous one. When your the author, you create the story, the characters, everything. If you don't like something, well its your book, and you can change it. I want to write stores that haven't been to played out before, something fresh, and new. When I'm writing I can express myself so much easier, so I'm sure I slip a lot of myself into my work, which in my opinion is what makes some of the best authors so great. They were able to put parts of themselves into their stories, which is what I hope to be able to do.
So now you know some of the reasons that why being a writer is something I hope to one day be.
