Bravery

“You need a certain amount of nerve to be a writer.”
~ Margaret Atwood

I live with a writer, someone who loves words, phrases and story-telling. Occasionally, the writer gets to be a reader – sharing her works with a greater audience than me. Hearing her share what she has painstakingly written, releasing what she has held so tight for so long, exposing her talent for public review, makes me realize she is the bravest person I’ve ever known.
