Keep A Peek

A wise man once told me, Your life story will not make a good book. Don’t even try.

A fortune teller once told me, You have a voice that must be heard. Find it.

A friend once told me, If you ever become a writer, you’re doomed. But at least you will die happy.

An editor once told me, Screw the editors!

My literature teacher once told me, If you ever use that sentence again, I will give you an E!

My childhood sweetheart once told me, Your diary smells like daisies.

My grandpa once told me, I wrote more than 10 books and won awards, but nothing beats the sparkle in your eyes when I am telling you a story.

My first boyfriend once told me, You’re beautiful. Both in real life and on paper.

My indian nanny once told me, Shut Up, SHUT UP!

What did I learn from all these people?

I am not quite sure yet and I want to find out.
