What I Know

I am a writer. I love words. I love blank screens, empty tablets and the pen aisle at Staples. When I was young I wrote tales about silly things little girls are known to dream about.

I am a writer. I studied writing in college: Public Relations Writing, Creative Writing, Writing for Children, Business Writing, Screen Writing, etc.

I am a writer. I write for a living. Well, I write advertising copy and press releases for a living.

I am a writer. A writer is told to write what they know.

What do I know?

I know that I have a tale to tell that will end up being an incredible story if I can find the strength and discipline to face it. I know that all the pain and simultaneous yearning I feel when I think about this chapter of my life will add to the impact of the story. I know that finishing this tale will finally enable me to let go. And for that reason I think I'm not allowing myself to finish.

So that's what I know.
