It took some time before I uttered the words. It was much like new lovers who hesitate to speak a risky "I love you." It was a courageous declaration.
A couple of years after I'd begun to write for public consumption, I had to submit an updated "bio" for an introduction. After reviewing my extracts, my friend urged me, "Don't forget, add that you are a writer."
I contorted my face and mostly pushed the description away. I paused, gulped, wrote, and erased. Finally, I included, "Maryhelen is a writer."
