Letter from Nhorad
Dear Todd
That’s OK, mistakes happen, after all, were only human.*sigh* But, I do thank you for your encouragement. By the way, I have a question. Has there ever been an author under the age of 17? Just courious. You know, I don’t have very much writing talent, no drawing talent at all, I don’t know what my purpose in life is at all!Arrgggghhh! Frustrating!..Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to ramble. Hehe, better stop talking before I get myself into trouble. Well, thanks again, see you soon.
Sincerly
Nhorad
Hey Nhorad!
Happy New Year! The answer is Christopher Paolini who wrote Eragon at 15. Also add Ally Sheedy who wrote “She Was Nice to Mice” at age 12 and went on to star in such films as “Short Circuit” and “WarGames.”
Purpose in life is always hard to find and it usually takes a lot of living before you discover it. A lot of people never do. The usual advice is try everything, permit yourself to fail (learn to fail gracefully — realize that the only way to get better is to make mistakes and learn from them), and remember that you can easily become an expert in two completely unrelated fields in your lifetime.
Cheers,
Todd
