I thought I got back to you, but I guess I forgot. Sorry.
I know you have ambitions to be an author. And you're doing just the right things to achieve that goal -- reading a lot, and writing a lot, for starters. I hope you make it. I'll be the first one to write you a fan letter! -----Gordo Korman-----

Lately, I've been thinking about book ideas and I'm just stumped (REALLY STUMPED). But then, I look at my friend, writing his book without a second thought and I thought, "How does he do it?" and then it just clicked. for fun. That's the reason. I can't find a better way to express his love for writing (and mine too).I think it's time stop thinking about what other people will think of it, and how I will think of it.
