About Me: J.R. Heimbigner
My Journey As A Part-Time, Side-Hustling Author
Hello, I’m J.R. Heimbigner.
Writing has always been a passion of mine, but it took me 30 years to realize it. However, looking back through the pages of my past, it is clear to me to this day that I was meant to be a writer and author.
I believe that every writer and author is on a journey. We start somewhere, often doing something we don’t really enjoy. And on our journey, we discover our true calling is to put words into the world.
My purpose in this post is to share my journey as an encouraging piece of the puzzle for you. And as a reflection for me on how far I have really come in my journey.
Before we begin, I want to share something from Jon Acuff:
“Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s middle, or your middle to someone else’s end. Don’t compare the start of your second quarter of life to someone else’s third quarter.”
My meaning is that I don’t want you to compare your place in the journey with mine. I simply want to encourage you and hopefully help you along in your story.
So, let’s begin.
