“If you want to write, you can. Fear stops most people from writing, not lack of talent, whatever that is. Who am I? What right do I have to speak? Who will listen to me if I do? You’re a human being, with a unique story to tell, and you have every right. If you speak with passion, many of us will listen. We need stories to live, all of us. We live by story. Yours enlarges the circle.”
-Richard Rhodes
Several people have approached me since I started my writing journey, almost two years ago, telling me that they would love to write a book. My advice, DO IT! Whether you are considering a children’s book, a science fiction novel, or even a non-fiction book that incorporates your grandmother’s recipes and snippets of your childhood, it doesn’t matter. There are millions of readers looking for entertainment, a personal connection or to learn something new. We all have a story to tell, and you will find that there are many people out in the world just like you, looking for a story just like the one you would love to write. If you think it, you should try it!
