What’s the best thing about being a writer?

I've written stories and poems as long as I can remember, but I self-identify in so many other roles - mom, wife, grandmother, therapist, etc.
So, just as I recommend practicing "Thank you" to a compliment, I practice saying "I am a writer!" in front of a mirror!
It's starting to feel more natural, thanks to the release of "Happiness Calling: A Practical Guide for Saying Yes to Life's Joy". I feel a sense of completion and accomplishment when I hold it in my hand.
If my readers find it helpful, that will be the best thing about being a writer.

Quotes by Victoria Mitchell (?)

“You'll know when it's time to stand up straight and tall and walk that road in faith. It's bold. It's scary. It's life-giving. Like so many paths, it won't always be clear. You have to follow those crumbs and see where they lead.”

“Happiness arrives in smells and sights and sounds. It hides in new car leather, a puppy's fur, rain on a tin roof, or a sunrise. It floats there waiting for someone to notice, eager to trigger a lingering smile.”
