Since I created a blog not too long ago that is specifically for writing ideas and tidbits of story, I wanted to write some stuff a little more personal. From the heart, I guess, though that's where all of my writing comes from. I haven't told any of my friends about this site (whether that will ever happen is still up in the air) because I wanted to be free. There's no one watching, which means there are no preconceived notions of who I am and what I'm supposed to say. It's like looking in a mirror for your soul, and that's kind of nice for a change.
My name is Daryn, and that's about all I know about myself, other than the fact that I want to be a writer someday. Now, I'm not living in fantasy land with this dream of mine. I have a plan and goals set along the way, so I don't end up starving on a street corner with a little cardboard sign that says "I just followed my dream and the road ends here" (I think I'd make some money off of that one!). I want to go to the University of Arizona, so I can major in English and minor in Creative Writing. From there, I want to start work at a publishing company and work my way up to an assistant editor, since they work directly with manuscripts and hopeful writers. Throughout this process, I could try and ghostwrite for autobiographers, and gain a little money off of that, as well as working on my own stories that I could turn in to my company. Maybe they'd help me out considering they would know me.
Anyway, this is just a dream. A longshot, fantastic, optimistic, scary as hell dream that I hope I never wake up from.
