What am I?

In the June 2009 issue of The Writer Magazine, Richard Goodman tells us he wrote his first book at age 46, after years in the advertising industry. He told people, "I'm in advertising, but I really want to write."

This has been me. I've been told it's not good to let your career define you, but I am an accountant. I'm an accountant, but I really want to write. And I do. Through blocks and flaws in plotting, through snappy dialogue and action scenes that work, I'm headed in the "write" direction. One novel down (needs some re-writing) and another halfway there, I'll get there.

I'll state it here, for all who may read. I'll state it for myself as much as for anyone who may be a doubter. I'm a writer.
