I've been a writer since before I can remember, having kept a journal ever since my pre-school Hello Kitty diary. Not that I had much to say back then. Recently, I read an entry from 3rd grade..."I like Dustin. He's cute." Next entry: "I don't like Dustin anymore. I like the new kid, Shawn." I quickly stopped reading before I got into the juicy (embarassing) pre-teen entries...
Naturally, my writing grew to have a bit more depth over the years. But as I ventured into my late 20s, and now early 30s, life took over. The gaps in my journal entries went from days and weeks, to months and years.
Luckily, I've spent the last 10 years in a marketing career that filled those holes with lots of business writing opportunities. For the past two years as the Content Marketing Manager for a large B2B company, writing has been a huge part of my job. Still, there's quite a different sense of accomplishment from completing a case study for a luxury retail client versus penning poetry, free style prose, or opinions about the going-ons of this crazy beautiful world.
Fortunately, I have the outlet for both. In an effort to not take that opportunity for granted, I humbly venture back into creative writing--and welcome you to join me for the ride! xx
