I say reach for your highest goal. Even if it's a long shot you'll know you at least achieved a level near that. But you can't just sit around, you have to reach. . . run. . . climb. . . swim. . . seek. . . (yes even sweat a little) and desire these goals.
One thing I've learned is that you can never fully satisfy all of your goals. There's always more of them to be attempted at. Though once you have it's usually the end of your existance in this life or this plane.
Sometimes it's not.

As promised, I'm going to alert my fans and readers about my upcoming stories! I'm really hoping this one will turn out good or at least okay. I don't have a ton of experience with writing stories and things (only a few years) YET, but I hope I can learn a lot just by going out there and trying it.
So cross your fingers for me! :)
Here's a bit about the story though I'm keeping the name secret (Imn0superman don't say anything please!);
It's been three years after her near death experience. Three years of going through major changes. Not only human ones but also unearthly ones, too. After loosing her family in a car accident and being the only survivor, she's sent away to live with her aunt. But that's not the only thing that's changed and she knows it. As she attempts to carry on with her now normal everyday life, she also strives to learn how to control something else. Something much stronger.
And sometimes all she really wants to do is leave it all behind and go be with her family.

So.... what do you think? I know it doesn't tell a lot about the story but I'm hoping for it to be a little mysterious. I'm attempting to lure people in with curiosity. So please, please, please (!) give me your honest opinion. Are you lured in by curiosity? Or bored by lack of interesting facts?
Any cliche's you think I should avoid or just things in particular? Anything you'd like me to bring out or add into the story?
I'm open for consideration on all ideas!

Earlier today I was attemping (not sure how well it went) to give advice to a friend on here and I ended up coming up with this idea.
So thank you Imn0superman for allowing me to brainstorm this!
For all of you writers out there here's a tip;
Picture this: A trees roots planted firmly into the ground, spiraling down deeper and deeper into the earth, it's trunk thick with rugged bark and a maze of branches tangled with leaves at the top. The waxy green circles dancing in the sunlight with the inspiration of wind....
Got it?
Your probably thinking, "How is this a tip? I barely understood what she just said."
So think of it this way; The roots are the start of your story. They anchor the whole thing down so it can grow. The trunk is like the chapters - the base that helps create the structure of the story. And the branches are like the details that help create the story. Like the characters, the setting, details....etc. And the leaves? Where do they fit in? Well, they're the words. Each vein in a leaf creating a sentence out of words.
And now to get that going - all you have to do is plant the seed.
