I get it. I do. But here's what it reminds me of.<br /><br />In 8th grade, I wante to be the President of the national junior honor society. (my first ad final stint in politics.)<br /><br />A "friend" of mine with "good" intentions said I should go for something else. (insert a lower, much less important position here.) I was up against someone popular, with more friends. So my chances were slim.<br /><br />Well, I won. <br /><br />So, to those "friendly" authors with "good" intentions, I say, "Pfffffffgghdjrbsdbsjdbeiddsjdbf on you. I'm going for my dream." <br /><br />I understand that short stories are easier to publish...but you know what? My ideas right now, and what I want to write, isn't short enough for short stories. I don't even read short stories, to be honest. But, on the other hand, I'm not published (yet), so it's probably best to listen to those experts first! ;)Nicole Pyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920135146911951755noreply@blogger.com
