Finding Your Voice

Over the last year I have spent allot of time here in LA really finding myself.

Living in a city of dreamers can be intimidating at times- but for me it has been quite inspiring and motivating. Waking up everyday to a sea of people who are here to become singers, actors, or musicians keeps me constantly wondering... "What am I passionate about?" One sunday- on a early morning walk to the farmers market it hit me.

I am a writer. End of story.

Over the last month I have been diligently working on my first novel. Writing has always been my passion and that I can never argue. So- with true determination I set out to find my voice in a sea of great novelists before me. So many questions needed to be answered before I got started: What kind of writer will I be? What will be my genre? Will I do fiction? Of all these questions,  I never questioned what I was going to write about ( that I knew from the start ) ... Love.  The highs and lows, the passion, the tears and the pain- Love is my thing. I can write about that till Im dead.

Now I wont divulge too much about the plot- or anything else about my writing except that- I am writing one heck of a story for all to appreciate. I promise.

Once I got started with the process- It all started to grow on me organically. There was so much passion, so much drive and so much thought spilling out of me that - at that moment- I knew what I was doing was what I was put on this earth to be... a writer.

From that moment on I never looked back. I encourage everyone to keep experimenting with life- find your calling and be as honest with yourself as possible. Only in this process can one truly "Live" the life they were meant to live.
