To write is to write is to write...
Is it?…I am still wanting to write, I don't always know what to write or even when to write, sometimes I am not even sure where to write.
I still have nothing to sell to you, or really even offer you, is this even my goal? Perhaps, not.
Who am I to tell you what you need to do, when I am not even sure what I am needing to do most days.
How can I provide instructions for something I may not even have the right to produce?
When I think about writing about myself, it's mostly for me, to learn more about myself and to see how far I have come and his I got here.
I could simply talk about my steps that I took each step of the way, but will it help you?
I am not quite sure.
I’ve done things, gone places, passed and/or failed and so have you, right?
My journey doesn’t seem to exciting to me and maybe it's not, perhaps though, it is helpful to you.
I had heard people tell me about my story, but I don't think it is anything spectacular, honestly.
I came to Substack with intrigue about writing and possibly earning as a “side hustle” and I got stuck when I began seeing people writing about how to make big bucks!
I got stuck and really don't know how to move forward here.
I am thinking, I have read a handleful of memoirs and a handleful of “how to’s” and honestly a handful of children's books and they all make money…
Ok, so, I am not here just to make money, however, I do stick around to practice my writing, read other’s writings and to keep going when I see someone write; “you are here for the wrong reason(s).”
I find it interesting, there are many different avenues people take here and I am trying to find mine.
I went home to visit my family and they said, “with what you have you are not doing enough with a job, you should be doing something better with higher paying.”
This really made me laugh, because, these are the same people who would reiterate to me that really…I should never have “to much money.” You know, just in case.
Now, I basically live “pay check to pay check” and always have “just enough” and never “to much.” I don't even have enough to budget!
So, anyway, I thought for a brief minute I could write as a “side hustle” because, it's something I can do in my own time.
I am going to continue to stick around and see what I can learn. Why not? Right?
To write is to write is to write…


This was very refreshing to read. I think Substack can feel like you should turn your writing into a business but it is also about making it a diary of sorts. Of learning the sound of your inner voice and being brave enough to make your process public.
So now we just write, because to write is to write is to write is it not? ✨✨✨
Thank you 😊
