I learnt something new about myself, today.

Well, it is something I have not properly considered.

I make money here on Vocal, because I write and publish on this site.

(Ooh, that rhymed!)

Which technically means that I'm a professional writer.

Huh?

I do the things the big names do;

Margaret Atwood, Dickens and Sarah J. Maas, too.

I write, and then publish and then rejoice when I recieve

A tip, pledge, subscriber;

A like or a read.

It's interesting to realise that I am a writer.

Officially now, because I hadn't truly said it previously.

Wow.

Isn't it such a wonderful feeling?

To be seen.

And not just by people who you go up to, screaming

"HEY! I WRITE POETRY SOMETIMES!"

Because in what world is that meant to be appealing?

I want to keep on writing.

I want to keep on living.

Exploring myself and the world around me

For as long as my creativity allows!

WOOHOOO!
