Join the Journey

This is the part where I tell you I’ve always wanted to be a writer, that I began writing when I was still in grade school and have always known that I would publish a book someday.

But if I told you that, I would be lying. While I’ve always loved the written word, I’ve loved it as a consumer, not a creator; a reader, not a writer. The truth is, it’s only recently that I began embracing my writer’s identity, and sometimes, I still feel like I’m faking it.

And here’s the funny thing: most of the writers I know feel the same way. If, when you think of a writer, you envision a smartly dressed eccentric clicking away on old-fashioned typewriter while locked away in a cabin in the snow, you’re not alone. But you’re also not correct. Most writers are ordinary folks living ordinary lives writing away in ordinary rooms. And we face the same ordinary insecurities as everyone else. In short, if you’re human, chances are you, too, could be a writer.
