Haha...I actually haven't read a character with my name before, which is strange considering all the books I've read! With that said, I love her already.
You don't have to have as much money as Bill Gates to be rich... Christopher Paolini is probably wealthier than most people his age. But that's beside the point. Now that he's matured, he can write a much better book, and have it published pretty easily. You should take any chance you can get to fulfil your dream (unless it's illegal or immoral), and if that chance comes about when you're 15 and not quite ready for it, that shouldn't stop you from taking it. No use holding off.
No you shouldn't hold off on your dreams. But Its better to be as prepared as possible. And if that chance comes at 15 and your not ready then don't do it. Wait a little awhile and then do it. It won't hurt you to develop yourself and writing style a bit more. Your not even finished with high school when your 15. If the chance came to get a novel I wrote published now I'd refuse. Why? Because I'm not that good........yet anyway. In a few years I'll be one of the best. Besides when I write my best seller I'll be so much better then I am now it won't even be a comparison. The me then will blow the me now out of the water. Its only a matter of time before the me now becomes the me then. Failure is not an option for me.
He did wait. He started writing the story at fifteen but only published it at age 20. Spoiler Source: google-> http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question96266.html
Ah That's better then. I still don't like it though and I think it could of been better. Is that a problem?
Kingtype, that's not a problem at all. You think the book wasn't good, I think it was EPIC. That book and the series rocked my socks. I personally can't understand why you hate it so much...and you'll probably say you don't hate it, okay, but you sure are vehement about something lol...I think it was well written, very well written, better than a lot of books I've read. So yeah. Trash and treasure, like Fox said.
GAH!!!! I just go into a fight with my mom. Not seriously but still I just couldn't take it!!! So horrible what she watches.
Another man's trash is another man's treasure. But Toddlers and Tiara? There has to be a drawing point of when something is just terrible right? I can't stand it!! Makes me actually want to cry a little. Most of all since its on The Learning Channel.
I don't know what Toddlers and Tiara is - and I get the feeling that I dont want to know lol. @Exz Sorry I should of just spelt it and not been lazy - ME is Mass Effect.
I just pre ordered a game and I'm getting another game next month while I wait for the one pre ordered to come out. So excited to play both.
I really despise Toddlers and Tiaras...*shudders at the thought of little girls in fake eyelashes* But Dance Moms I hate more. Reality TV nowadays, *sigh*. How much of it is real anyway?
Toddlers and Tiara makes me lose faith in humanity, it makes me gag and it makes me wonder what those parents have for brains. It can't be too much. Almost all people, on their deathbeds, have the same regret. They regret that they cared about the wrong things, the things that in the end didn't matter at all and were mere entertainment or distraction. I feel that people who watch that show need to be told that. I am not going to tell what can or can't be on TV, but I do feel that people who watch those shows must realize that it's not only pointless to watch, it's also damaging in more than one way. These kids are being raised with an extremely unhealthy concept of beauty, their lives are likely going to be all about that and I really do think most of them will die young because they will have dragged themselves from one surgery to another. I can just see the $$ in the eyes of the parents of Toddlers and Tiara, I can see the creativity, the care for non-material things just being utterly decapitated in those children. It's not like any of these children made a conscious choice that they wanted to be this, and that makes it so disgusting in my eyes. They are being forced into an ideal which only their parents believe in and it's marking them, we can talk all day about nature vs nurture but when your life is centered around a misguided concept of beauty from day one, then it will be hard to shake that off and live a healthy live, a live which draws it's happiness from the sustained, not from the temporary.
I just got back from going to the store for my mom, lol. I drove as fast as I could in her car, but once I got there I realized I didn't know where anything on her list was so that took a while... but I'm back, ha. and Kingtype, in response to your shocked gif...
That sucks. Well, if these people have some modern day telephones or some sort of comm maybe you could have your char call some other char...
