When I grow up, I want to become an author. Being an author doesn't just mean "being an author"; it means many other things as well. For starters, being a writer (if the fact wasn't obvious enough), a reader of new information, and a creator; someone who thinks up all sorts of crazy worlds and ideas using a blessing called their imagination. They explore different scenarios, think of fantastic yet quirky characters, give a familiar or foreign setting, and take you into their world using the power of their writing. So far, my writing/reading experience has been fantastic, especially with all of the great amateur writers out there (and don't let the word "amateur" get to you--when I say they're great, I mean they're great.) Add that to the fact that many of the people I look up to are authors: James Dashner, Rick Riordan, Cassandra Clare, Maggie Stiefvater, J. K. Rowling, etc., and you probably already know that just thinking of becoming just like one of them would be a dream come true for me. I feel like this ("this" meaning being an author, of course) would be something that I want to do when I grow up, to plant my ideas in the minds of others.
(And curling up in an armchair, sipping tea, and writing on your laptop all day? A-okay with me.)
P.S. -- Here are some books that have inspired me to become an author & that I strongly recommend you read:
