I know I’m a writer because I’m smiling at all the rejections of my novel and excited to be on the self publishing journey. I’ve written, revised, edited, had others edit, and now…here comes the baby!

I know I'm a writer because I put my butt in a chair and do it every day, even if just for a few minutes. ❤️📝

I'm a writer because I have something meaningful to share with people who love music, and I enjoy using the written word to accomplish that goal. :)

Oooo. "Something meaningful to share with people who love music" is SUCH a great reason. I'm so glad you know you're a writer. Thank you for being one!

Thank you! For as glorious as writing is, it can be so lonely, don't you think?

I'm a writer because, today I've written my 1000 words, and feel there will be more to come, even though yesterday there was a mere 33 as life and work and health got in the way - but still I was a writer then as I am today.

Love this Kerry!
