Writing is an act of discovery—about life, about yourself, about the world.

I read many books on writing and attended many writer workshops, but the the most important piece of advice I can offer is to believe in yourself. If you desire to write, then hone your craft and trust there must be a message in you that is wanting to take flight.

I have walked the shoreline of a particular barrier island for the better part of forty years. One day, I noted how the tides, pounding surf, and tropical storms had shifted the shoreline. Nature, my greatest teacher, had been both gentle and fierce. The tides and storms of life are no less impactful; they, too, shift the shoreline of who we are. If we could meet our younger self, pausing along life’s shore, what might we say? What comforting wisdom could we impart about the shifting sands ahead?
