BRAVE For 2020, my one word will be BRAVE. I want to be brave n sharing my writing, learning new things about writing, trying new types of writing. I also most importantly want to be brave in calling myself a writer to friends and colleagues. 2019 I began to embrace the idea of writing and saying "I write" but 2020 I want to be brave in saying to people "I am a writer". For most of my life, I have been writing in journals. I have written stories, song lyrics, poems and plays but these were not things I considered real writing because I was young or it was "just for fun". In this new year and new decade, I hope to boldly and bravely embrace my identity as a writer.
