Re: Writing My Goals
I'm starting over as a writer. With 40 just around the corner, that's no small thing. I first decided writing was for me in high school when I was 16. At the time, I had some absurdly high ambitions for fixing the world and saving humanity from itself because I was young and didn’t know any better. As I continued to succeed academically, these ambitions worked their way into the fabric of my being. This is a story I’ve mentioned elsewhere, so I bring it up again for only one point: my writing was part of that Atlas burden. So I’m starting over as a writer in order to move away from that obsession with the capital-I Important.
