I thought maybe you all would like to know just a little bit of my life, so here I go a glimpse into the life of Kimmy.
I started this blog for two reasons. 1 because I love writing and I love to share what I write. 2 Is because well it’s my dream to be a well known published author.
As of right now I am an author or at least consider myself to be one. I was a published author I was thrilled the day I got the call from the publishing company (which shall remain nameless) called to inform me that they loved my manuscript and wanted to print my first novel.
Tales from Areallia: The Keepers. It’s a great story for children of all ages a place you can go to escape the realities of life, but anyway I’m not here to promote that. (Not right now anyway.) I am working on re-writing it to make it better. And I do have to say in all honesty the book never should have been published but alas it was. I can’t take it back now. The good news is that I received my rights back and I am now free to do with it as I choose.
Like I said I love to write and consider myself an author. To me an author is ANYONE who takes the time to sit down and write something. A poem, a short story, a novel, or even just a limerick.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad as long as you write.
Me, I have the ability to come up with great stories but when it comes to writing them the way I see them in my head I can’t. I disparity need to learn the English language to become an even better writer.
Why am I writing this? You may ask yourself, but the answer is simple really. Just recently I was in an argument with a couple of friends. One friend sat there and said you are not an author until you have been published and the book is available in stores to by. My other friend disagreed saying that an author is anybody who writes.
Then I asked what they would consider me as. I write all the time, everyday in fact about nothing and everything. I have two novels written one was briefly published and the other I am in the process of editing. My friends looked blankly at me and didn’t have an answer.
So I ask you (not that it really matters) but am I an author because I briefly had 1 book published or because I love to write.
Or is it the opposite am I nothing because I have nothing in print.
It amazes me how differently people can think and see the world. This is just an example of how people se the world differently

I believe that a person who sits down, takes the time, and writes as an Author. I look at it this way. I am an author, who, has the desires to become a "published" author. This desire came true for me at the beginning of this month. I am a self-published author. I say it proudly. I understand anyone can "self publish" a book. But it takes one heck of an author to stick it out with the ups and the downs.
In conclusion, I feel an author is someone who has written something: such as a poem, novel, newpaper article, magazine article, or even a short story.
