A Mother's Encouragement
Like King, my mother encouraged my early writing. She bought me books as I pleased and didn't mind reading anything I wrote. In the eighth grade I entered a poetry contest at Barnes & Noble. She was in the audience when I read it outloud and has been there every time I hae a similar event. Even today, she continues to support me as much as ever. Recently, she bought a laptop to help me with my English assignments(although the real reason was probably because she couldn't support the old dinosaur-of-a-computer we had upstairs). If it wasn't for her, I'd probably never had gotten into writing, seriously. She's done a lot for me, I'll pay her back one day when I mention her in the dedication of my next novel.

That's sweet that your going to dedicate your first novel to her and it is a good thing that she has pushed toward something that you like to do.
ReplyDeleteShe deserves it, she got me into this.
DeleteGood for your mother for always supporting you. Parental support almost always benefits in my view. But would you really be unappreciate of writing if not for her?
ReplyDeleteProbably not, she just got me into it sooner than if I'd done it by myself.
DeleteGood blog and it's really sweet that your mother supports you and encourages you.
