“Writing has been my path to being fully myself, and it’s the one thing that when I’m doing it I don’t feel like I should be doing something else”

Certainly my favorite quote from the post :) thanks so much for sharing, I hope you continue to share your experience with writing!!

So happy to, in a very small way, be a part of this series. It made for a really interesting read, seeing the common theme laid out in this way.

I thought so too! Drawing together your experiences has really helped me work through a few problems I've been having in my own writing

What a beautiful way to put all these voices together. Like being in a room with old friends I’ve never met. ❤️

I write because I find that real life does not offer me the excitement that my soul craves, no matter how I look at it. I need to add a bit of magic. So I became a fantasy author.
