If not now, then when?

For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a writer.  I was a bookish kid who spent most of my time lost in thought, creating stories, characters, and worlds in my imagination. But my anxiety and perfectionism held me back from being my truest self for a long time. Then, one day, I had a vision of my future: I was filled with regret for being too scared to even try to be a writer. Then I had an ephiphany: if not now, then when? I decided that trying and failing was better than never having tried at all.

A few months later, I got an opportunity to do copywriting for a local Frederick business. I enjoyed using my creative skills to help others discover their audience and share their authentic stories. That’s when Good Writing Co. was born.
