If one wants to be a writer, one must write!?

WELCOME KITTY CATS

 

For so now, long I have been a writer.

Yet published, not a word.

 

Pens warn out, pages full.

Of the nonsense and absurd.

 

Hidden away for no one to read, for fear of shame, judgement and rejections.

 

The time has come, to learn from my past, be proud of my convictions.

 

So come with me, on my journey of words. To free my body, soul and mind.

 

May we all learn something together, perhaps help us to be more kind.

 

Not just to be kind to one another, most importantly to ourselves.

 

So that we, may all shine bright like stars, not grow dusty upon the shelf.

 

So lets open our minds, speak and listen with beauty and with heart.

 

Then spread that light around the world and radiate the dark.

I am now a published author...

 

If a person rides horses, they would me considered a rider, yet unless a person is published, they cannot be considered a writer?

 

Is it not the practice of writing which makes a person a writer? The excitement and the thrill of putting words on to a page, whether it be by pen or on a screen. A passion that cannot be extinguished until the letters have been released. That is what makes one a writer!

 

The thing that makes a writer extraordinary is whether you believe in your writing enough to allow other to see it. To share it, and to critic. To disagree and have debate, to bring uncomfortable feelings as you challenge them and others with your work. The courage to know that you will not please everyone. 

 

Its impossible to please everyone, but if writers wrote to please everyone, nobody would write a word.

 

So I will write about the things I love and cherish, the things that are important to me and the world. The things I think a person like myself would want to know about. My aim is to publish my writing and hope one person one day reads it and it makes them smile, makes them have a better day, makes them feel more informed. Makes them remember something forgotten but fond. Makes them have a different perspective on things. If I do that then I have changed the world with my writing. 

 

And now, I will no longer feel as if I am a fraud, when someone asks me what I do.

 

I will tell them, proudly, I am Kitty, I am a writer.
