How to Become a Writer response

The story was really interesting. It was a story about writing, but it was more of a story about the girl saying the story. She sounds really angry about how frustrating writing is. The story explains that you can't just becomes a writer. You have to work and work to become a published author, and most people don't get published. Francie worked for years and everybody was telling her, basically, that her stories were crappy. But she kept on trying, even when her mother didn't believe that writing was her true calling. In the beginning of the story she was so enthusiastic about writing, and made up the most creative stories. Towards the end she was really discoaraged. She thought a lady getting on a bus would be a good story line. She stopped being creative, and losing hope.
