A pervasive myth clings to some who aspire to write. That being a writer is a fool’s errand because everything worth saying has already been said. Why write about philosophy when Aristotle and Plato answered most of the big questions two thousand years ago? Why write a horror story when you can read Stephen King?
Really enjoyed your article. So true when you said at the end, "The point of writing is to speak your truth and to speak it well." - That is a very good saying.
I agree a person should write to “speak your truth,” but the rub is will anyone publish your truth?
