Writers just wanna

Wannabes wanna BE. Writers just wanna.

In my earliest writing days, I considered it important to refer to myself as a writer, even though I understood I wasn't much of one yet. It was my own game of "fake it till you make it" because if I waited for someone else to crown me or something, I would be waiting forever.

I'm grateful to myself that I faked it till I made it; the making it doesn't un-fake the faking it period.

Someday the wannabes may get to be. By the time they are, they are too busy with the wanna to know when it happened.
