Glenna — I knew I was a writer when I was five. The counsel I received could be summarized as “Oh! Good, you can work at an earning job that will allow you to write and do artwork on the side.” And from my mother, “Well you will probably have a husband to support you.” I am 75 years into life and have been taking my time to write and design full-time for the last 3 years. Brava! So glad to see that you who write so well, will be contribiuting to the full expression of life that we so need right now. Of course you are a writer! # things I tell fellow writers and artists: Do not torture yourself with the “whatifs.” Give up beliefs in “writers block” and other words we put on the time writers need to relax into periods of exploration. Enjoy the expansion of your creative self.
