Do It For You
Make the art, create the recipe, write the book, pursue the creativity — do it for you.
Sometimes I doubt myself.
I began writing fiction — mostly sci-fi and fantasy — when I was nine. In fits and starts, I continued to write over the years. Then, not long ago, I started to write full-time.
I am very, very fortunate that I am in a situation where I can do this. It brings me so much joy to be able to spend my days writing.
Whether it’s my daily blogs on mindfulness, conscious reality creation, positivity, self-care, the ongoing creative process — or sci-fi, fantasy, Steampunk, and other fictions — writing is my jam. Taking an idea from inside my head and putting it on the page or screen feels genuine and true to who I am.
While it’s my goal to get more readers on Medium and sell more books and audiobooks on Amazon — I am doing this for me, first.
I share ideas and fantastical worlds because I believe they can inspire, empower, and otherwise be of use to others. But first and foremost, I do it for myself.
How is that not selfish? Because when I practice my art, I am being authentic and true to myself. That means I am being my most authentic, most centered self.
