Writer's journey
Hi everyone.
I'm here because I'm curious about how you got into writing.
Here's my story. As a kid I was very good at creative writing, not my opinion but my teacher's. Then life went on, I went to medical school and the fantasy of writing got crushed under the weight of all the textbooks and courses. I became a doctor, got married, had a kid, got divorced... As of today, I've been a physician for almost 20 years.
In 2020, during the pandemic, I had to take a break to be able to look after my daughter. And with the world slowing down to a crawl, my mind had time to breathe again...
That's when I started to think about writing again. I needed five more years to get enough courage to type my first words: Chapter 1. After that, as they say, the rest is history.
What was your journey? Did you always know you were meant to be a writer, or was it a self-discovery process?
