Thank you and Thank you! Ha! I am a professional already, a hospitality professional that is enjoying the career I have built just as it is today. I have a passion for writing and am a vulnerable writer as I write what I know, and don't know, I write about my passions and my fears, I write to get it out of my head and into your heart. I don't know that I ever want to be considered a "professional writer" as that might mean that it becomes work and for now, my work is work and writing, well that is love. I do like to appeal to readers and want a following but only for the sake of knowing that I am resonating with an audience. I have thought many of the things you just confirmed and appreciate the tips as I feel like it gives me permission to continue exactly as I am and worry less about the "reach".
