No matter which way I cut it, Gareth has said it all in this piece. This little spout out against the aspiring writer really hits the nail on the head. I think it’s time to return to my desk and put some words down.
Aspiring writer? I’m an aspiring millionaire, but that doesn’t mean I’ll ever be one. Take yourself seriously. You might be unpublished, but if you believe in your heart that you’re a writer, say so. Declare to the world that that is what you are, and act like it. Don’t wait to be asked. Find your calling. Find a way to make it work. You won’t get a second chance.
