Let me introduce myself

Hey! My name is Ashley and I'm a writer.

What's the name of my book, you ask? Well, I haven't written a book yet. What publication do I write for? I don't. And before you ask, you wouldn't recognize my name from anywhere either. Because, unless you read a tiny newspaper in the metro-Detroit area about 8 years ago, you never would've seen my name in print anywhere!

I can hear what you're thinking. "So, why do you call yourself a writer then?"

I'm so glad you asked!

I write every single day. Nothing that would be seen in a magazine, or in a book, or even anywhere online usually. But I write every day. I write in a journal, for my own sanity. I write to do lists, sticky note inspiration, love notes, social media posts, texts to loved ones, work emails, iPhone notes, more to do lists, daily observations, and occasionally these blog posts. I have even been attempting to write a novel for a couple years now, with not a ton of traction. 

I want you to understand that if I am a writer, so are you!

You can totally do this!

Is it hard? Absolutely!

Will it make you feel like you don't know how you've managed to string words together your whole life? For sure!

But will you finally have a breakthrough and write the work you've been dreaming of? Maybe. I guess we will find out!

Go write friends! No more excuses! You CAN do it!
