Becoming Readywriting: A Blogger’s Journey
We are excited to share an extract of this new first in a series of guest blog posts. This one was written by Lee Skallerup Bessette also known as Readywriting:
Here’s where my story starts: I love to write. I have always loved to write. My handwriting is awful, I almost failed kindergarten because I couldn’t hold a pencil properly, but I always loved words. And when I was able to write words and sentences and stories, well, I never stopped. I was always writing or reading. I kept a journal in high school, spending hours and hours of (what I now know is) ADHD insomnia writing pages and pages and pages. I wrote press releases for my swim team and the local paper published them. I wrote hundreds and hundreds of poems. I started writing countless novels. ...
One more piece of advice: you have something to say that no one else in the world can say like you do. You have ideas, experiences, knowledge, positionality, perspectives that other people want to hear, hell, need to hear. Your words are the words someone out there doesn’t even know yet that they need to read or hear. Write because you want to, but also write because your words matter.
