You are a writer, Susie Pinon. Not a doubt in my mind.
And it might help to just start calling yourself that. I did it when traveling alone in South Africa. People asked what I was doing alone out there. And I said very nonchalantly: “I’m a writer.” They asked no more.
And it felt so great!
It gives us opportunities to be curious. To explore. To love life.
Enjoy it!
