B
When I was fifteen, I announced to my English class that I was going to write and illustrate my own books. Many students nearly fell out of their chairs laughing. "Don't be silly, only geniuses can become writers," the English teacher said, "and you are getting a D this semester." I was so humiliated(感到羞辱的) that I burst into tears.
That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the Capri's Weekly Newspaper. To my surprise, they published it and sent me two dollars. I was a published and paid writer. I showed the newspaper and the dollars to my teacher and fellow students. They laughed. "Just plain dumb luck," the teacher said. I tasted success. I'd sold the first thing I'd ever written. That was more than any of them had done and even if it was just dumb luck, it was fine with me.
During the next two years, I sold dozens of poems, letters, jokes and recipes. By the time I graduated from high school with a C average, I had never mentioned my writing to my teachers, friends or my family again. They were dream killers and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams, they must always choose their dreams.
I had four children at the time, and the oldest was only four. While the children were sleeping, I typed on my ancient typewriter. I wrote what I felt. Crying Wind, the title of my book, became a best-seller, which was translated into fifteen languages and Braille(盲文) and sold worldwide.
People ask what college I attended, what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer. The answer is: "None." I just write. I'm not gifted and I don't write right. To all those who dream of writing, I'm shouting at you: "Yes, you can. Don't listen to them." I don't write right but I've succeeded. Writing is easy and fun and anyone can do it.
