There is a difference between a writer and an editor or better said a friend who reads your writing. If I read through some writing and add some bits of spelling changes or ask a few questions about intent, that does not make me a writer but may make me a friend who listens. My own writing is different than that, it is personal, not political, no specific message except one of kindness and inclusion.
It helps me to think about this, because writing about something or writing something is different than being a collaborative writer. That is something I would like to do with my BFF, who has the opinions of a lifetime of experience and is a total genius in my mind, can find her way through a political quagmire in a way only working with bright people can do. I hope she and I become collaborative writers about what has made a lifetime of work for me.
On some level I feel a deep disappointment with my love affair with work, a hesitancy.
