Writing and me

I might have said this before, but, it took me a bit to be able to give myself permission to "be a writer".
I've always written poems and stories. I've always collected nice pens and notebooks.
I've always wanted to write something good and useful to help others...
Over the last who knows how long I've always had a little notebook and nice pen with me to write my Ideas and Thoughts and Interesting Names into whenever I had the urge.
So, one day in the last two years I wrote down in my little notebook- "I give myself permission to be a writer."
I have written down in my little notebook SO many neat book ideas.
Every time we traveled somewhere I would get out a big sketchbook and Ross and I would talk out one of my book ideas and I would write down what we figured out. It was fun.
I was dabbling.
About two weeks ago I got to go to a Writer Girls group headed up by pixiechick_sw and I learned a lot and it helped me decide on which idea to start with to be my FIRST NOVEL.
All the writer girls said that their first novel was horrible and they wouldn't show it to anyone.
So, I picked the most selfish idea I had. SO So so self serving with a total personal exorcism of my past demons... and it has to do with Time Travel. :)
So, I am studying up on Time Travel. If anyone is reading this knows of a good Time Travel story or book or t.v. show or movie please comment and let me know about it.
I'm studying up on my Time Travel. :)

P.S. I haven't crocheted for so long, I don't even know where all my hooks are! How horrible is that?! I will find them soon. But, I am still going to start using this blog to talk about my writing.
