An Author's Journey - Your
Authors Journey
It’s difficult to describe my journey as an author. It isn’t particularly exciting; parts of it are downright boring and even cliché. I tell my story and answer interview questions generally the same and it feels boring every time. I hate that I don’t have a thrilling story sometimes, but then I remember that I have a story, several small moments that make me who I am and color every one of my stories from start to finish. It doesn’t matter that my heart was broken in the most commonplace way possible – my high school sweetheart who I married after college decided that family with me was not as exciting as parties, barhopping and girlfriends. It doesn’t matter that I wasted eight years of my life working a terrible, stifling cubicle job that nearly drove me mad. It doesn’t matter that my life is not remotely where I hoped it would be at this point.
What matters is what I’ve learned from all of it. What matters is what I’ve learned from my parents, my siblings, and my friends. What matters is what I’ve learned from my children and being a mother.
