A new chapter of life starts today!

Am I a writer?

Can I be a writer?

Are you a writer if you’ve never sold a word?

 

Here I come, writing world. I’m jumping in, though not all the way, as I’m keeping my day job.

 

My wife says the heavens are aligned on this day, May 25, 2017, for Henry Evans Williams to become a writer. Put it in your calendar.

 

Do I start to write the Great American novel first?  Poetry? Short stories? Anything that pays?

I’ve accumulated hundreds of notes and ideas on paper for years.  I’ve even written several thousand words of several ideas. 

 

In total to date, though, nothing of any consequence, or completion. That ends today!

 

I thought I’d write 30 books in my life.  I’m 64 years old, so I better get started, don’t you think?

 

So many of us have the ideas within for great prose, whether it be in books or stories.  We seem so busy with life, though, that we never move those ideas anywhere outside our innermost consciousness.

 

I know I’ve forgotten more ideas than I’ll ever have again.  50 ideas by 8 am are mostly forgotten by 5 pm.

 

Come on and follow me in this journey.  I’ll keep you posted on how it’s going.

 

Is anyone interested in paying me for these thoughts?

 

Have a good night,

HEW
