Since I have begun my publishing career in 2021, I have met several people who have shared with me their thoughts and desires to write their own story. Enthusiastically I have encouraged them to continue with these thoughts because that’s how I came to be published.
The desire to write came to me when I was 12 to 14 years old. During these two years I was experiencing a constant energy force telling me that I needed to "write down on paper” the thoughts I was thinking. I began to write. I started writing a daily journal. And when I read what I had written down on paper, I felt a self satisfying relief come over me that said, “I did it!” My written words seemed to jump off the pages and come alive. It all made sense to me now. “I can write."
While in jr. high school I achieved a major accomplishment becoming a co-editor of the school newspaper. Over time I gained the confident to become an author to share my thoughts with the World.
If one person can do it, we can all do. We learn and live by the examples we embrace.
You can do this too; if you just try. You will get “hooked,” once you try.
