I'm Love This Stimulating Journey as One of Medium’s Newer Writers

Writing for Medium is creative and a welcome education.

I've always admired and secretly envied writers. I love to read — all types of novels, biographies, historical fiction — I love it all.

Writing, authoring, composing, inventing, crafting — all terms associated with the act of depositing words on paper.

A day does not pass that I don't pick up a book.

Never in this lifetime did I expect to find myself writing for others to read — like a bonafide author.

Dare I call myself an author? Yes, absolutely. If I publish an article and even one person reads it — I am an author. I'm proud to call myself this.

Almost three years ago, I started a blog encouraged by friends who believed I had led an impressive life that others might find interesting.

My friends do enjoy reading it — but my audience other than them — is meager. Still, I write.

I write to discover what I know. — Flannery O’Connor

My writing partner, Meg, suggested I submit a post to Medium. Ok, she practically dared me.
