Bounced out the door

Damn writing a story is hard. I’ve got a few ideas but getting them down and actually trying to construct a cohesive story is quite difficult. I’ll be getting back a graded short story I wrote last week, that will show me how good I actually am at stories and hopefully point out some thing’s I can do to improve.
I’m trying to write a children’s short story ‘cos I figure:
Short story = children’s cult following = full book = movie rights = fame and fortune
There was a reporter job going in the local paper and although I couldn’t apply, it gave me a great feeling because it proves jobs will be available for my preferred career.
I’m listening to a great LL cool J song….“Father”, at the beginning he says something like “We all feel pain, we all go through things…but its time to overcome all that” I felt inspired by that line.
