Day 31: Dealing with Failure

Day 31: Dealing with Failure

I wrote my first story back in elementary school. It’s a sci-fi story with aliens, the future, and a melding of what I had seen in Blade Runner and Doctor Who. I even drew cool little pictures of the aliens in the stories. From an early age, I knew that I wanted to be a writer. I found writing to be therapeutic and cathartic. Through my imagination, not only could I escape, but most importantly, I could deal with my feelings by playing scenes out among all the characters I created.
