I am a writer
There I said it. I'm not sure why it's difficult to say. Maybe because the first question I get asked back is; "Oh really, what have you written?"
I've been writing poems, stories, songs, articles, speaches, talks, and other ingenious creations for years. However these musings are all still invading my thoughts, scribbled in notebooks, and saved on hard drives - half done. What kind of answer is that!
Nobody wants to hear about those. No; when someone asks the question, "What have you written?" They want to hear titles of books that have my name gracing the cover, or well known magazines that have been begging me to write an inspirational piece for them.
Currently though I am latent writer. But in time, on a day much like today, I will no longer hide my work. I will break free from my concealed passion. I will proclaim from the mountain tops: I love to sculpt thoughts, and place abstract words on blank pages to create masterpieces for all to enjoy. Even if all is represented by my immediate family, who are by default members of my fan club. They have to love my work, it is an unwritten rule of family life.
So there you have it I am a writer. As far as I can see the only question remaining is: Am I a great writer?

You go, girl!
(Okay, my kids tell me that phrase is incredibly passe these days, but I don't care. It applies.)
Keep on writing. (P.S.--Blog about your first check!)
