Why Now Is the Time to Start Writing

From the 14th floor of a hotel room in downtown Nashville while the entire city is under a layer of ice, I send you this not-so-subtle nudge to use your voice.

You may have told yourself that you’d write your book “someday,” or that you aren’t a real writer anyway, or that nobody would listen to what you have to say, or that you’d speak up if you had a bigger platform. 

The truth is that your words are needed now more than ever. 

Regardless of your politics or life circumstances, the most effective and profound way you can join the revolution of this time is to pick up your pen and become the change you want to see in the world. 

This is your benediction.
