The Deep Breath Before the Plunge
Writing is humbling and I am not sure what to expect on the journey.
Beginnings are hard.
The prompt is given, and I must respond. There are three things in life I want to do.
Be an astronaut; maybe someday I will ride into space on SpaceX.
Create a successful company. (I created 3, and all did exceptionally well.)
Be a published author in 3 genres: Science Fiction, Mysteries (Modern & Historical), and Non-Fiction (specifically History.)
I have dabbled in writing. I have been published. I like telling stories.
I've been trying to believe in myself again. A few years ago, an impactful incident affected my life. The event took something away, and I am trying to find a lost spark. Everyone has doubts, and it is hard to believe when it finds you again, especially when you are older.
What am I doing this for? There are several reasons, but I like stories and storytelling. I have wanted to be an author, not a writer. There's a difference, and I want to see if this will help return a bit of confidence. For the reader, I want a place where I can share my writing and thoughts.
I hope you enjoy the journey.
The first step is the hardest.
