Truth from a child🌟
On Thanksgiving, I was playing cards with my cousin's 9-year old daughter, Charlotte. This was our conversation…
C: What do you for work?
W: I was a teacher.
C: What do you mean was?
W: Well, I was a teacher for 19 years but I’m not teaching right now.
C: Then what are you doing?
W: Well, I’ve been writing books.
C: So, you’re an author.
W: Yeah, I’m an author.
C: Then why didn’t you just say that. You’re an author.
Love that kid, her honesty and sass. The brutal honesty from a child can be so eye opening. Acknowledging myself as an author was something I hadn’t actually done or said out loud as I had been having horrible imposter syndrome. My first book, "The Flannigan Girls", is being edited and I'm doing research now for my second book, "For Better or Worse". I feel confident finally to be able to say, "I am an author."
