and for those who aren’t sure if they are.
I’ve written in the past of my journey toward being comfortable in my own skin with the idea of calling myself a writer. You can read more on that here.
A part of that journey involved plucking up the courage to send a few of my faltering pieces out into the big wide world and see if my words could fit in in other spaces. I was nervous, scared in fact. I was scared I’d be rejected, that others would find my words hollow and without use. Maybe you feel that too.
What I found was that while I still had room to grow (still have room to grow!), forcing my hand to put words into other spaces helped me grow as a writer.
I’d like to provide a space here, in my little corner of the web, for you to test the waters. Maybe you’ve been waiting to pluck up the courage, I get that, but why not try here? I would especially love to see home grown writers develop here in Australia, but even if you’re from across the seas, you’re welcome too.
