A 'Real' Writer
by
Kelly Jean Richardson
Right in the middle of the formal event, I got a killer idea for a book setting. And no, it had nothing to do with what was going on at the moment. I was so excited i could hardly stand still.
Okay, I'd already written eight books without even trying to get one published. Somehow, I was really never quite sure that I was a member of that exalted club yet. Until, I suddenly realized that no one but another writer could know I felt.
I mean the idea was so promising that I felt giddy with excitement. I was literally bouncing up and down in place, almost out of my shoes.
The sky looked the most amazing shade of blue. The flowers were bursting with a rainbow of vivid colors. I almost swooned. Perhaps this sounds over the top to someone who has never written a book. But, I kinda felt like lovesick schoolgirl.
I fufilled the rest of my duties admirably. If you saw the photos taken that day, I was the one in the back row with the big goofy grin and the killer glint in my eye.

not everything we write is meant for publishing. sometimes the mere process of writing means more to us than what we actually write. keep it up, Kelly, and let the best of you come out in your words
