"I eschewed all attempts to be a writer writer, usually taking on work where I would get no byline, saying yes to roles where I learned on the job (usually doing work that was anything but writing)" and how that affected and reinforced your self-perception and made you try to convince yourself that maybe you didn't actually want to be "writing" writing so much — I wish I had known this! But it's never too late. Looking forward to your next love letter ❤️
