Inspiration
There are few books that make me take pause and re-evaluate my career choice. It happened only once before, in fact. When I read the Harry Potter books, it delayed my pursuit of writing for at least six months. I thought, 'I will never be able to do THAT.' But still, I forged ahead. I've learned A LOT since then. Grown in ways I never would have dreamed possible.
I read MOCKINGJAY yesterday. Again those feelings of inadequacy surfaced. But this time I have a different attitude. I promise myself here and now that I will spend the rest of my career working to produce something I feel is worthy to share shelf-space with The Hunger Games Trilogy.
I didn't set out looking for this. I merely picked up the book I was excited to read. I guess you never know when and where inspiration will hit.
