I started writing when I was 11 years old but I only recently started pursuing it as a viable career option. I’ve found myself frequently beating myself up for the 17 years I wasted (although I did send in the beginnings of a very terribly written novel to a publishing house my first year of writing. They graciously declined, and I do not blame them!)

The last 6 months has been overwhelming, exciting, scary, rewarding, stressful, and fullfilling. You see how so many emotions were mixed together in such a short period of time? I’m hoping I can help alleviate the negatives for future new writers.

The main reason I was so overwhelmed and stressed out was because I didn’t know what I was doing. I would argue I still don’t, but that feeling has lessened the longer I keep at this sometimes unrewarding career option.

I’m going to utilize this blog and my social platforms to write what I learn as I learn it. I’m hoping other writers can use this to have an easier time digesting the overwhelming amount of information and knowledge that goes into becoming a writer. This will include information on creative fiction writing, creative non-fiction writing, publishing industry information, and freelance writing information. I’ll talk about the differences between traditional publishing and self-publishing. I will share the platforms I have found to help make my writing voice be heard and the different creators I have watched and read to help me process, understand, and learn the in’s and out’s of the craft that is writing.

Just know that it’s normal to feel overwhelmed, it’s normal to feel as if you just don’t know enough to successfully make it in this career, and that ultimately you have to start somewhere. Everybody else did, why can’t you?

I will try and write a post at the very least every month, but possibly more frequently depending so please be sure to keep an eye out.

As always, write fearlessly, edit ruthlessly, and read endlessly
