This blog is inspired by me friend Jack Brogan, thanks Jack.
If you haven't found out already i love writing. I love to read other peoples writing i love to comment on other peoples writing but most of all i like to write. I think that i share that passion with most of the people on this website. My passion for writing brings me to meet new people and take my writing to the next level. I am even in the proses of writing a book, my blogs have been published on the Denver Post website for the Presidential inauguration. Just like my friend Jack I was writing on Hubpages.com but the lack of diversity and taste at that website made me think to bring my online writing somewhere else. I hope to publish a book by the time i graduate middle school. I have many friends that are professional writers and have guided my throughout my journey. When it comes to writing I am all over the place, fiction, poems, current events, essays, non fiction and the list goes on and on. But an inspiring writer needs someone to look up to and for me that person is David Sedaris. Mr. Sedaris holds the incredible gift of making people laugh while being intelligent, not all of that crap and stupid stuff you hear everyday but the stories of a dysfunctional family and a dysfunctional life. Another author i admire is the late JRR Tolkien. In my language arts class we finished reading "The Hobbit" one of the most celebrated books of all time and the beginning of a three part series called the lord of the rings. To accomplish what I have in the past few years takes patience, courage and devotion. A great writing quote is "Writing is easy all you do is stare at a blank piece of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead" that is from Gene Fowler. David Sedaris said in an interview that you can not be a great writer until you fail 100 times. I take those two quotes very close to heart. A quote i made up was "Superman was a writer and it was hard for him" i hope that all of you can be into writing and reading. Thank you for reading

i just got a chance this morning to read your blog.
GREAT GREAT JOB!
i am enjoying your blog a lot.
you are a very nice and thoughtful writer--already! at age 12--and you are doing exactly the right thing to get even better.
you are writing...every day (or almost).
the single best way to become polished and accomplished writer...is to, like the nike slogan, 'just do it.'
so...tremendous work...and keep it up.
i'll be keeping an eye on you. i have been a writer (reporter/journalist) for my entire adult life.
finally...here's -my- favorite quote on writing.
it's by the famous american writer dorothy parker.
referring to what you and i know is the difficult of writing...parker said
"i hate writing. i love -having written-."
take care.
love,
walden.
