"Alice, come to me right now!"
Oh, here we go again! I have just come up with a good idea for one of the scenes for the book that I am writing. But if I talked to my mother, everything would get out of my head. I did not even get to take a couple of notes not to forget anything and to write something thanks to them. I believe this idea is really wonderful, even if I got it absolutely, suddenly. And I actually think ideas that come to us out of nowhere may sometimes be much better than those that you are reflecting on for hours, weeks, or even months. So, I am going to make it come true and finish one more chapter of my work.
By the way, I have already written half of the story so far. The further, the more interesting. I came up with just a dizzying storyline for my fantasy book that my followers on Wattpad really love. I have already published a few books that they are actively commenting on and recommending to their friends. Yes, my fan base is not as large as many other writers' ones. But I am already happy I have reached so much. Of course, it took some time to get at least one reader, but it was actually worth it. I met many good friends, with who I communicate on social networks and even share some secrets of my works.
"Alice, can you hear me?" I hear the loud voice of my mother, who is definitely unhappy with something, somewhere far from here.
"Now, Mom!" I exclaim loudly. "One minute!"
Okay, okay, I have to write this moment... I have to complete this chapter in a very interesting place... Being inspired, I am typing text with a smile on my face and silently pronouncing it. My eyes do not almost look at the keyboard, and my fingers literally remember where all the keys are placed. However, it's not amazing because I have loved writing for so many years. I started with short stories and came to long books, for which I literally created the whole world from the beginning. And I really love it! Reading and writing is my passion. The greatest love in my life. While people of my age still doubt which profession they should choose and change their minds literally every week, I have already decided I would become a writer after growing up.
Now I am as inspired as never ever. This book is definitely going to become one of my favorite ones. I have been working on this one for a long enough time. But that's what makes it better. My readers also agree with it. They literally beg me to publish updates as frequently as possible. And I cannot betray them. They help me support my motivation to keep reaching for my dream. The dream that will come true one beautiful day.
"Alice!" My mother's loud shout gets me out of the magic world of my dreams again.
"Now!" I pronounce a little irritably and keep typing text on the keyboard much harder and faster before the idea gets out of my mind and still keeps me inspired.
My gosh, even when I have a free day, I cannot stay in my room and quietly work on my book, lying on the bed with a small laptop. It's very old, and I would hardly be able to run some modern games that some of my friends are playing. But it's enough for me to write something. I need only a text editor. No more. And one friend of mine creates covers for my books. She dreams of becoming an artist and never stops improving her skills. That girl clearly knows what I need and makes me delighted by what she eventually gets. And my friend also adores my works and believes I could build a brilliant career as a fantasy writer.
At some moment, I get too busy with my book and forget that my mother asked me to come down to her. I do not want to let this idea get out of my head so badly. So, I am typing text without a stop and trying not to pay too much attention to some little typos and mistakes because I will be reading it again, fixing everything, adding something, and deleting something. Making my idea real and doing my best for my readers to be happy and continue to discuss my characters and their actions is much more important to me now.
