This week I got paid for my writing. It was more than a $5 honorarium. It will not pay my rent for the month. I will have to save it to pay for food and essentials. But the top of the check did say “Author”.
And after a hard few days, a lot of rain and darkness, it was this small moment of recognition that mattered.
Being a writer is all a rollercoaster ride that includes some very dark times and some very long timelines that often don’t have happy endings (perhaps one day I will write about those too). But today I am writing about a little sunshine that I got in the mail. Because this matters too. 🙌
