Cate Lawley
What is an "aspiring" writer? If you write, you're a writer. If you aspire to write...and make a living wage, that's a different question. If you aspire to write...and win awards, entertain as many people as possible, tell your story, or teach people, then those are all different questions.
So I say, decide what kind of writer you'd like to be. In other words, set goals for yourself that reflect your underlying wants and needs. The clearer your goals, the easier it is for you to tackle them.
Finally, if you aspire to write and you don't write, well, you should consider starting ;-) Sending you warmth, hugs, and support, because sometimes putting pen to paper or typing those first few words can be hard.
