#WritersCoffeeClub 2/7: I write because...
... it's about time.
I started writing fiction when I was 9. I got an M.A. in fiction writing, landed trad publishing non-fiction contracts, and then took jobs writing scripts, presentations, and books for others ... but not the novels I dreamed of.
Nothing feels worse than not doing what you always meant to do, day after day, year after year. A half-century later, I'm finally writing for myself. It's about time!
(Write your books now. Don't wait.)
