Is there a title for something like this? Hm. Nope, can't think of any.

wow I'm so new to this. I've always wanted to blog, but have never been able to. To busy with writing and singing i suppose. Huh. I'm a new writer; fresh meat in the business is what I've been called, but I've been writing since the fourth grade. Stories, I mean. My first was children's stories. My aunt had a daycare and one of the kids kept putting toys in his mouth, so I wrote a story for him. Of course, I won't divulge in details because, though I'm new, I'm not stupid. I don't want anyone taking my ideas. : ) I've always done well in English and talked (or rather, wrote) like I was years older than I was. I tended to use large words in my fourth grade essays. I remember using the word "fickle" in a sentence and my teacher looked at me like I had a second head growing out of my ear.
I've always found it amusing when older people hear me speak when they have never talked to me before. Because I look so much younger than I am (in high school was constantly mistaken for a seventh grader) they automatically label me as "immature." Though this was, at the time, true with my friends, I always talked eloquently when with adults. It sounds egotistic, but that's how I was described. Eloquent, yet a terrible speller. Is it strange that a person who is addicted to spell check wants to write for a living? Hm. Questions questions.
I wrote a book. It's not edited and certaily not published, but nontheless, it is in fact a book. 310 pages. It took me just under a year. I'm quite proud of it, but am unsure what to do now. I want to get it edited, but can't afford it. To many payments and such. Oh, recession.
So, do people post comments like on facebook or something? Or is this more along the lines of a diary for people who (ahem) have particulary bad handwriting? (The only thing people do better than anyone else is read their own handwriting.) Hm. More questions.
