We are therefore "non-writers", but is this true? What defines the status of a writer? I always remember Chris Brogan's quote: Don't think you're not a writer because you haven't written a book. We are, if anything, unpublished writers, we are unknown writers, we are writers waiting to write seriously, with perseverance and determination above all, our first work, the first book. Looking carefully inside, where I wouldn't want to look, my situation is that of someone who is procrastinating, rather than deciding once and for all to act.
And the problem, perhaps, lies right there: in the most intimate part of the unconscious, which has a little awareness, after all. It is from there that reproach comes and all that darkness of feelings Phone Number Data that makes every action, every decision, every choice difficult for us. Because what makes us true writers is not a published book or a novel written waiting for publication. It's courage. Those who have the courage to express themselves, those who want to know themselves through writing, write. CLICK TO TWEET And so, perhaps, who knows, a light seems to make its way, even if with difficulty, among the shadows of indecision and insecurity.
Whether that light will then become a dawn, only time will tell. Cristiana Tumedei concludes the reflection. "Hi everyone! My name is Cristiana Tumedei and I am a free writer." No, we are not at the gathering of anonymous writers. I'm just telling you about myself. I am a free writer blocked by the fear of publishing. Until now I have always avoided exposing myself and kept to myself what arose from my sleepless nights. Because what Calvino talks about is a perfect and perfectible condition at the same time. In my opinion. Until we publish we will be free from real expectations and anxiety. We will be able to simply write, without anyone placing hopes on our work. But is it really like this for everyone? Not for me. I fear with all my heart that I will take the wrong step and I am afraid of proposing my writing to a publisher. Why? Because being a writer is not a real job.
