It Starts Now

This is my first time. First time being a writer. I am new at this and I am eager. I believe that there is magic in words. Put together, words can create a new imaginary world where one can escape. That is why I feel a certain passion for writing. I want to create worlds, characters, scenes, conversations and pack it all together in a page turning book. This is my blog which I will use to stregthen my writing skills, share my thoughts and  use as a place to be me.

I once heard years ago that it is during your 20's that you discover who you are and where you want to be. My reaction to this was 'It takes that long?' It was only until recently that I realized that I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. As a newly-wed my identity was changing from fiance to wife. It suddenly became confusing. I'm 27. I'm finally on the path to discovering who I am meant to be. Another piece to the puzzle that is my life has been added. It has been added to my identity. Writer.

My job is not who I am. It is what I do. When people ask about me, I'll have to first say that I am a work-in-progress. Why not? There is nothing wrong with being in progress. I realized that after your name, there is a label that has been traditionally used to describe your job. Why does it have to be that way? My conclusion- It doesn't. I am what my heart tells me to be.

The adventure begins!
