In the past few months, I have been writing a lot more. I am sending out query letters to magazines. I have been published in our local woman’s magazine. I have been working on my fiction. And most of all, I am not hiding from my friends and family that I write.
I think that some people are surprised and maybe hurt that I never shared this part of me. It wasn’t intentional. I wasn’t trying to be mean or keep any secrets. I just never was confident enough in my writing to share with the people that I see and talk to often.
Being a writer and letting people read your inner most thoughts is sort of like bearing your soul. I leaves your feelings wide open. And I have never really been one to share my feelings very much – even with my family.
But now, I have gained some confidence in my writing. I have realized that I am a good writer and have something valuable to say. So am sorry to my friends and family that felt I was hiding this from them. I didn’t mean to be.
Here I am now, pouring out my heart, letting everyone know that I am a writer.
Good for you and good luck!! You’ll be so much happier following your passion and doing something you love! AND letting everyone know just how HAPPY you are doing it! It’ll definitely be worth it in the long run.
