I signed up to be a writer. What I came to learn is that the writing world is vast. Well, it felt like it grew and grew as I learned more about writing over the years.
I’ve dabbled here and there, but after experimenting, I’ve found my place in the world of novel writing, and I’ve been here for a few years now. I like it mostly because I think it fits my lifestyle best. I can twist and turn and pivot as I please. I can speed up and slow down. I can rewrite a million times, which doesn’t always feel good, but the fact that I can is liberating for me.
Before all this, life always felt so fast and big and requiring more of me than I preferred to give. I think it’s still all that, but now that I have my writing space, the world can be whatever it wants. In writing, I can fight, revolt, and use my voice to empower myself and eventually those around me. Writing, not as an escape but as a place to process situations and better connect with the world around me.
Writing is my place in the world.
Have you found your place in the writing world?
