Author…..are you talking about me?

by Sherry Miller

But I’m not even a writer, I would explain to anyone who commented on how much they loved my first book.

You can call me a musician, piano teacher, choir director, homeschool mom, gardener, soap maker, business owner or even tile painter (that was back in the 90s), but calling me an author seems so foreign. I am, however, willing to embrace this new “me” in light of the fact that I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing.

Creating a series of picture books involving the fun personalities and antics of the animals on my farm (real life), incorporating classical composers and their music (my music training) and children (I’m a grandmother now and loving it), just feels right.

Oh, and don’t forget the marketing side of the book (my entrepreneurial self).

If writing would be a fulfilling venture for this season of your life, I say go for it! I will probably wear many more hats before I’m through, but right now the one that is starting to look just right is author.
