Chapter Eight

I remember the day it happened. I was taking a bus to the grocery store. A couple got on and sat in the seat in front of me. She turned around. "Hey, I know you."

She didn't look familiar. I racked my brain trying to figure out where we could have met.

"At the Starving Artist," she said.

"I was your w—."

"Look, honey." She nudged her boyfriend...husband. "She's that writer we like."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Aurora Corbin, and I'm a writer." From that day on, I knew who I was.

Thank you for reading Callie.

I hope you enjoyed this story.

You may know that I write to adults and children. You probably know that I write short stories. You may not know that I write memoirs. I will make room on this blog... 

It's All Good by Leanne Dyck

Think back over what you've accomplished so far today this year. If a camera crew had followed you, would you have made the news? Would you have inspired or entertained? Maybe...not. Yet those hours are part of the body of work you call your life. 

As is your life, so is your writing. Not everything you write will be published. Not everything deserves to be. 

No, it may not be validated by another. And yet it's not a waste—even if you ball it up and toss it in the garbage put in the recycle bin. It may be waste, but it isn't a waste. It has helped to improve your craft—even if all you have discovered is that writing is still fun. 

And so, my friend, write. Fill your days with ink on paper. It is the way of Shakespeare, Stephen King, and Pauline Johnson. It is the writer's way.

Wishing all contented days full of writing/reading in 2016.
