I am a writer. In secret.
At work, I write all day long... press releases, pitches, media alerts, plans, creative briefs, etc.
But at night, on the weekends, and in my head, I'm a real writer. The kind of writer who puts her deepest, most intimate thoughts on paper as a form of self expression and self preservation.
Rumor has it, Stephen King writes ten pages a day. Even on holidays. I'm lucky if I write ten pages a year of my own work, beyond public relations. I aim to change that.
Starting now, I'm making a commitment to the writer within to write for myself, in addition to all of the writing I do for other people.
Challenge accepted.
