I’m A Real Writer!

When I was a little girl I used to read Superman comics and wonder about the people who made up the stories.

That's when I decided I wanted to be the person who not only read stories but the one who wrote them.

Fast forward many, many years of journal writing, ex-spouses who told me my "hobby" was nice but would it pay the bills, to today when I'm sitting at a keyboard every day, spending the day with imaginary friends.

Bliss!

But I don't always think of it as bliss because honestly folks, it's a lot of work.

Every now and then I have a transcendent writing experience like this:

Today, as I sat at my computer and glanced around I noticed my notebooks, my pens, my Emotion Thesaurus all scattering my desk as usual.

Even better, I keep a notebook for each book with pics of the characters, their profiles, their goals, dreams ... all kinds of fun junk.

The thought came into my mind. I love this! Here's all the evidence I'm a real writer. This is hands down the happiest gig ever!

Life is good my friends.

I think sometimes we just need to remind ourselves of that fact.
