how many books did you publish before you were able to consider yourself an author? i've put up three of them and still feel like i'm faking it most days. does that feeling ever go away?
some buds publish forty books and still feel like an imposter and some get a good idea and say 'i am an author'. chuck happens to be the latter. ive been an author since long before i wrote a single word because of one simple buckaroo truth: theres SO MUCH MORE to writing than writing.
there is thinking and dreaming and learning and listening and feeling, these are all important parts of the process not just for telling stories but for creating ANY art. probably want to observe reality a bit before you comment on it.
so GUESS WHAT bud. YOU ARE AN AUTHOR. you have been since long before your first story. honestly you probably were an author before you were born and you will continue to be one long after you ride the lonesome train.
we are the ones who define ourselves, not the timeline that surrounds us, do not forget this INCREDIBLE POWER you have and do not be afraid to use it as an artist and creator.
you are a great artist already. we are ALL great artists already.
now that you dont need to worry about that anymore get trottin along and create something special
