It seems like such a simple statement: Writers write.

But I am learning that sometimes we skip some steps in our minds and jump to the end. We see people who have books or writing jobs and say, “Now THAT is a writer.”

Or we see people running marathons or sponsored by Nike and think, “THAT is a runner.”

Kevin often releases me from this thinking. He reminds me that a writer is simply someone who writes, a runner someone who runs.

So if I want to be a writer, I should write. I should not limit that title to book authors or columnists.

November is the month I write more.

I love a good monthly challenge or goal, and with November being National Novel Writing Month it seems fitting.

Normally I would create a giant goal of writing everyday. Then, two weeks in I would be stressed and frazzled trying to force daily writing. So instead, my goal is to write with greater frequency here. Likely 2-3 times per week.

It might be brief and the topics may vary…but writers gotta write.

Here goes nothing!!!!!

Thank you for reading!
