Like Forever

Wow it's been like forever since I've written  A SINGLE THING. :(

Fortunately, <<<CONTESTS RULE!!!!>>> http://figment.com/contests/seventeen/?utm_source=Contest+Blast+1%2F24%2F2013&utm_campaign=1%2F24%2F2013+Contest+Blast&utm_medium=email#details-tab  I'm in the Seventeen Magazine contest!! I'll post my entry in like a minute. :)
You know today I was reading ("Possession" by Elana Johnson) and I just had this weird... feeling in me, like I needed something but didn't know what it was. So I tried sitting down and writing my entry for the contest and I was like I BELONG HERE.

There's a funny thing about belonging. Over the summer at camp, they have a theater program, and my friend was going to make me do a musical. So it was my turn and I stepped forward, said my name, and, in the heat of the moment, with that spotlight on me--the owner of that stage for those fleeting seconds, the only thing I could think was I do not belong here and the director said, "Do you want to be in a musical?" And proudly, without regret, I said, "No." "What are you doing to do instead?" he asked, and I said, "I'm going to write all day."

I will never BELONG anywhere else but at my computer, writing.
All day, too.
