RE: How I Got Started Writing and What I Would Change If I Could Do It Over
Thats it I know that we are kindred spirits Ivy!
We have almost the same life story except the joining the military (was too short for Officer school) and being a writer.
I started reading at age 4 and I would read whatever I could get my hands on.
I did a lot of poetry, short fiction stories when I was a kid, still did it high school and college. I was in the school paper and even was associate editor for the literary journal.
I often write , like how my Steemit profile is here, any topic that I wanted. I never had a niche. Whatever was assigned I just wrote.
Then you finish college, you work a job and you forget being creative, stopped that dream of being a writer.
But I want to try, now more than ever since I started writing again in Steemit.
We are kindred spirits, Mav! We do have a lot in common and I adore our conversations on Discord. I love that you shared your story here. I would love it if you kept writing, writing is such a raw form of communication that can be shared with so many different people so the message gets spread. That is the power of the written word. So, I hope you do try to write consistently because the world can always use more ideas and more opinions that need to be shared. Thanks for such a thoughtful comment!
