Romance Writer
One of Many
I write into the mist.
Few people read the words I select yet still I write, and I know I am one of many. I'm not alone in this. There are writers out there who write for themselves with no audience in mind.
I raise my hand sheepishly.
My fiction is for others as much as for myself, but my poetry has always been as private as my thoughts.
With hidden tunnels and secret pools, I am one of many. I call myself a writer. I am the person who stares into space having fantastical sword fights and deathly fights with witches and demons. I see aliens in the shadows and werewolves standing in the streetlights. Full moons and blinking stars dance behind my eyes. Music plays in my head. Conversations in my ears.
I am a whisper in an orchestra. One of many, I'm lost in a crowd, but I'm okay there because I juggle balls from hand to hand.
One of many. I am a writer.
