If you’re doing your best writing, you’re always on the cusp of embarrassing yourself.” –Arthur Miller

I’ve been tasked to write my Author’s Mission Statement. It’s in the brainstorming and drafting stages at this point. I’ve stolen phrases from other writers I know. I’ve stuck fancy words in it and wrangled them around to make them my own. It sounds uppity.

The gist of the whole thing is that “I am more than the sum of my parts of speech.” That’s not a mission statement, that’s an affirmation, though isn’t it?

I write to say the words no one asks to hear.

I’ll get back to you on it. I’m not ready to release my inner Kraken yet.
