am i a writer?

so, yeah....i'm in the process of writing a book. It started out as a crazy idea during the holidays. So far, i've already reached.....wait for it.....the 2nd page.....

So what?! I'm not a professional writer! I'm not ashamed to admit that im a complete amateur. I dont even know what im doing! what do you expect? The idea came when i was reading a really good novel by my favorite author, Derek Landy. He's the one who wrote the badass Skuldugerry Pleasent series. More about that later.

So there i was, reading a very good book, and watching a 1987 zombie movie. Then, a thought crossed my mind. Why don't i try and write a zombie novel? What could go wrong? All you have to do is write, right? So the novel started. and now, i'm finding less and less time to continue my novel because my hours are jammed packed with studies and what not. (truth be told, i mostly spend my days sleeping more than studying)

then a thought crossed my mind.....
if i have the time to write my blog, might as well resume my novel.... :|
