Today, I am gonna talk about dreams.
Everyone, anyone has dreams. Some wish to be rich. Some wish to travel around the world. Some wish to be a famous designer.
I am Asian and English is my second language. I wish to be a novelist. However, a novelist in English, not in my mother language. Why? I find myself more inspired when writing in English. Hope that makes sense.
Once I read an article about writing tips, it said if you wanted to write well, you should have been a good reader. And I know reading is not everything, you must note and learn the words, phrases, and styles as well. Then, practice, practice and practice. Oh, luckily, I love that.
And now, on the way to be a novelist, I don't know whether I will be famous or not which is the future tense (however, deep down in my heart, I want to be known ^_~), in this moment, I am learning English. I learn via novels, via newspapers, via foreign friends, etc... And I love that.
The feeling of being able to use a foreign language is well described in the book Eat, Pray, Love. OMG, I love that feeling. I love it when native English users can understand what I say, understand what I write. And top of that, they find no difference between a native and ESL users in my works. That's my wish.
So, back to my work. Reading and learning.
