I hope to bring it to its full potential one day, and that's one of the reasons I never finished it. I had an idea for a story. It was just a small idea, an idea already done many times. Through the looking glass. Now, it was nowhere near the classic story we knew when I first had the idea to flesh it out, but that was my starting point. I started writing the story when I realized something: I didn't even know what set the events of my story in motion. This surprised me. I didn't even know why the story I was writing was happening, which was a really big oversight on my part. I hadn't done any background on this whole new world I was creating. So I decided to put that story aside and write what my story would become, what The Silmarillion was to The Lord of the Rings. I was brainstorming an actual history book about a world that only I knew about, and it was amazing. I had so much freedom. I only wrote a small part of it. But the planning, drafting, and brainstorming I did changed me as a writer. I felt so free to do whatever I wanted and it was amazing. I haven't gone back because I want to write something else first. I know that my first major written work will probably be my worst. We learn by jumping in and making mistakes, and I loved my story too much to make new mistakes for the first time. I still write down ideas about it as they come to me from time to time,
