Am I Crazy?
Why would anyone live on a part-time income to be able to write full-time? Is there something wrong with me?
Plenty. However, I should have started writing full-time long ago. Although feeling unable to write full-time, I could have written a small amount daily…completing the equivalent of many novels to date.
I wrote in my childhood, enjoying great satisfaction in creating short stories. As an adult I frustrated my college Business Writing teacher by turning every assignment into an exercise in creative composition. I later worked with a published writer for a short time, but we quickly grew apart. My lack of confidence and commitment has held me back throughout my life.
Today I am a writer. I have never been published, but I am a writer nonetheless. Writing is a passion that I have hidden and ignored for many years. I feared failure, and I feared revealing myself to others. These are the types of fears that must be overcome to be a good writer.
This first blog post is a way of enforcing my commitment, hoping to eventually achieve self-actualization having few preceding triumphs. Please bookmark this page and follow me during the next year. I will enjoy your comments and appreciate your encouragement.
The completion of a novel will not be the end of my writing, but a beginning toward realizing my capabilities, continuing in my passion, and hopefully…enriching the lives of others through my work.

Robin -
Don't you know that all successful people had to be crazy at one time or another to pursue their dreams?
My best wishes to you as you embark on this adventure.
I'll be tuning in to see it all unfold.
