Brisinger

Some of you may not know about the Inheritance Cycle. Some of you may have heard of it, but totally despise it. Some of you may be like me, and are absolutely ecstatic about the release of Brisinger the third book in the four-part series written by Christopher Paolini. I only have to wait 10 more days till I can read it. I hope it will hold up to my expectations. I was greatly impressed by the first two, Eragon, and Eldest. What makes these books so exciting for me is not the fact that they are fantastical and a pleasant diversion from my daily life, but that they are written by a young man. Christopher started writing these books when he was only 15 a year younger than I am. Thinking about his age makes me wonder what could I possibly do? I am only a year older than him, perhaps I should start writing something on a larger scale than the essays, short stories, and poems I write. Maybe instead of just dreaming up stories, I can put them to paper. I must admit to you, I am somewhat frightened of that idea. Can I do it?

YES YOU CAN!

I've written two novels, and I'll be submitting the first to publishers after the new year. I'm not sure I'll be as successful as Christopher Paolini, but it's been wonderful to show myself that I can set out on a big task like writing a book and finish it successfully.

I absolutely love that series... I say go for publication, I'm sure Paolini had absolutely no idea he'd make it this big as an author.
