Why writing? Brittany and I chatted this week about what got us into writing and why we love it so much.🥰
Brittany's writing journey: "I've always loved writing and dreamt of being a writer! As a kid I could often be found writing in journals, notebooks, and even my dad's work computer when I would go into the office with him. As I got older, a few teachers encouraged me to continue writing and it led me to study composition and rhetoric for my Masters so that I could teach writing at the college level! While academic writing and even legal writing that I've done is very different from the writing I do today, I still loved it!
Writing has always been a part of me, and I think it is safe to say it always will. I love the written word and being able to share it with others."
My thoughts on writing: "I've always been a writer. For as long as I can remember, I wrote stories and poems. I'm not saying those were good... mostly they were filled with teenage angst and the pretend understanding of complex issues in love and in homes... but hey. It was something. 🤣 So, it's honestly just overwhelming some days to think that I WRITE for a living. I'm not saying I'm the next SJM here. But, I love what I do. 🥰
I get to tell stories. I tell stories about love, about family, about new lives being brought into the world. I share stories about being a business owner, a parent, a woman in the world. And it's pretty freaking cool."
