Why would anyone live on a part-time income to be able to Write full-time? Is there something wrong with me?

Plenty. However, I should have started writing full-time long ago. Although feeling unable to write full-time, I could have written a small amount daily…completing the equivalent of many novels to date.

I wrote in my childhood, enjoying great satisfaction in creating short stories. As an adult I frustrated my college Business Writing teacher by turning every assignment into an exercise in creative composition. I later worked with a published writer for a short time, but we quickly grew apart. My lack of confidence and commitment has held me back throughout my life.

Today I am a writer. I have never been published, but I am a writer nonetheless. Writing is a passion that I have hidden and ignored for many years. I feared failure, and I feared revealing myself to others. These are the types of fears that must be overcome to be a good writer.

This first blog post is a way of enforcing my commitment, hoping to eventually achieve self-actualization having few preceding triumphs. Please bookmark this page and follow me during the next year. I will enjoy your comments and appreciate your encouragement.

The completion of a novel will not be the end of my writing, but a beginning toward realizing my capabilities, continuing in my passion, and hopefully…enriching the lives of others through my work.
