Kelly S.

To be honest, writing wasn’t actually my first choice of career. I desperately wanted to be a firefighter or a police officer or a superhero… I wasn’t picky. I was four. I just really wanted to help people. But it turns out that it helps not to be short when you want to be a firefighter or a police officer, and that the superhero market is a little rough to break into without actual superpowers. Fortunately, I realized I actually had a superpower not too long after that. I can’t fly or bend metal by thinking about it, and the only time I’ve ever turned blue was when I accidentally jumped into a really cold pool. But I can write. I love the sound, the shape, the texture of words. I love the way they interlock and weave together to create pictures in the mind. I love the magic of storytelling, whether I’m telling my kids stories I’ve written just for them, or telling a friend about a cool new boba place that I just found and they have this Earl Grey Lavender latte that just reminds me of silk with an aftertaste of springtime…. It’s amazing! Back when I was a kid, writing for a living wasn’t even on the table. You had to be lucky, connected, or already wealthy… none of which described me, by the way. Now, the world runs online and that means that the online world literally runs on storytelling. Stories transport, inform, enthrall, and motivate. They entertain, comfort and create trust. They can bring people together or move people to action. Most of all, stories connect humans in a way nothing else does. Sounds like a superpower to me... what do you think?
