Writers write and authors publish. Well that’s one of the many things I have heard about writing over time now that I have decided that maybe I should share some of what I am writing. For a long time, my writings were for me, and only me. Once in a great while I might share a portion of something I wrote with someone, but that was quite rare. Now I am learning more about how this whole publishing thing works and finding out that there are tons of other writers out there just like me.

I have started to feel like a writer; as opposed to writing was something I did now and again. Now I am writing more frequently (and consistently) and am pursuing the goal of publishing something. I keep asking myself, why? It’s not the money, though that would be nice, do I really feel compelled to share these stories with others? Apparently yes, I do want to share these stories and talk about them, talk to other people and see what they think about them and the best way to do that is to get these stories “out there”.

In 2015 I decided I was a writer. Now in 2016, I want to become an Author!
