Aspire

Although I have been published, I still consider myself an aspiring writer. Because, in my estimation, just because I have been published that does not mean that I have accomplished all that I have aspired to do, and become, as a writer.

Being a lover of all things artistic, I have always had the spirit to push myself  further creatively. I have always had a strong desire and ultimate goal to soar beyond any limit.

Which means I will never be finished…I will always be an aspiring author.

I also consider myself an aspiring author because as a writer I am constantly being inspired. I even have a t-shirt that reads, “Inspiration comes from everywhere.”; which sums it up for me.

I know that mastery comes from continuence of  study. And I have always   yearned to learn. I read voraciously; devouring novels of all genres past and present. I am constantly flipping through magazines and I delve into reference books as if they were deep pools.

I will always have the capacity for growth. There is always an opportunity for further development.

For  me, writing is a sweet science of forming mental images from something that is neither perceived as real nor present to the senses.

I approach this craft with humility and joy.

I will always be an aspiring author; aspiring toward a seismic vibration that awaits me, like an earthquake.
