More of an Author

I've been working on my book for 7 years now, and it's cool to see how I've progressed as a writer since I first started writing. I'm really visualizing and expanding my world, characters, and story more than I ever have before. Without really thinking about it, I've (along the way but more recently) kind of created my own concept art for my book. I have dozens of sketches of characters, places, maps, armor, weapons, clothes, languages, colors, etc. of the things in my book. I also take photos of things that inspire me or use past photos for an inspiration. This story means a lot to me, so I guess that's why I keep coming back to it every time I've tried to move on to other projects. I guess after 7 years of not giving up, it's got to count for something. Maybe one day, if I keep at it, I'll see my dream of my book getting published be realized. I know if I want it to, and it's right, it will happen. One thing I've come to start really learning is that you can accompish anything you want to in life. You just have to believe you can and go for it.
