Recently I read a great article on the Outlet called "I Have A Writers Mind" and it got me thinking, what kind of a mind do I have?

Is it a label that you earn, a goal to reach, or simply a part of the identity?

I see things differently than other people, that is true. Is it a weakness or a strength? 

I have a story, in my head, that I think would be interesting - but of all the things I've been and all the things I've tried, writing is not among them.

What's holding me back? Not criticism, I welcome good and bad but especially constructive criticism. If I could picky for a moment, the 1 to 5 star rating would be a real shot in the arm to continue, but actual feedback would mean the world to me.

What's really holding me back? Fear. I fear that I won't get it right. I fear that I won't make the time to work on it. I fear that it will be another of my unfinished attempts at trying something new. 

So why write? Simply because I have a story to tell. To nobody in particular. My hope is that it turns out well. My plan is to find at least a few minutes each week to work on it. My goal is to finish it. My wildest expectations surpassed would be someone to give feedback on it.

Do I have a writers' mind? Probably not. But I have me and that's enough.
