Thank you for sharing this wonderful story, Emily! While not nearly as engaging as your experience, being a writer clicked in my head when a bookshop employee, ringing up my purchase of books on writing, asked, "Are you a writer?" I thought, "What the heck?" I said yes and have repeated that scenario to myself many times. Especially when the words just don't want to play nice on the page.
Thanks for your comment, Donna! I'm glad you enjoyed my story. And thank you for sharing your experience which is every bit as poignant. Regardless of the circumstances of when it clicks for us, I bet every writer remembers the moment and returns to it often.

Yes! People have encouraged me! We could all use more and give more encouragement.
Thanks Dad :) Aren't we all glad for the people who see us for what we are, and encourage us without even trying?
