ServerCarol Zimmerman is a professional writer and speaker on wellness, self-care, and relationship. She is a member of the Writers & Healers Guild of America, and has been featured in the New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, and NPR. She holds a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of Oklahoma and is a certified counselor with the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Although she has written some of her best work in the past, it’s now that her writing has taken on a personal tone. Her writing is about all the things we can do to help ourselves and our relationships. And the more we know and want to help ourselves, the more we can contribute to our own personal growth. In my own life, I have been working to find the balance between my professional life and my personal life.
Carol’s career has always been focused on helping people to achieve better ways of living, yet she’s been able to bring this to the forefront, to the point where she isn’t afraid to ask herself questions about her own personal life. She’s also found that this is often the best time to be writing. She often writes about her life and her life experiences, and she always adds a personal touch to my blog posts.
Carol has been writing her blog for five years now, and it has just never seemed like enough time has passed. It was only a few months ago when I stopped by the blog to ask her about her writing schedule. I commented that I thought this was a good time to start writing a regular blog, and she replied that she was currently writing an entire novel, and that she wanted to keep writing even during this writing drought.
I know that there are other writers out there who have been writing for years, and who are still writing. However, I feel like I have to prove to you that I can do it. I have to show you that you can write on my blog. In order to do that I have to have some sort of consistent schedule, and I haven’t had much of one. The last time I checked, I was still working on a novel.
As it turns out, if we take the time to read one of your novels we might find it interesting. But if it turns out that you’re only writing one thing, then you’re still a writer.
I know that I am a writer. I have written books. I have written a book of poems. I have written a book of short stories. I have written a collection of essays. I even wrote a novella. I even have a blog. However, I have not been writing on this blog consistently and it has never stopped.
The way I see it, if you are writing a novel you are not a writer. You are a writer. If you are a writer and you write a novel you are a writer. You are an author. If you’re writing another novel you are not an author.
I think that most people reading this blog are writers, but there are those of us who choose to be not. We are not writers because that is just the way we are. We are writers because that is how we see ourselves. We write because we think we are writers. We write because we want to be recognized for our unique talents. We write because we write because we write because there is a story to tell.
You can’t go to your own home without writing.
