Why I write (II)

by Ashley Weeks Cart

I know how self-congratulatory these posts are. But this one relates to an article that I think is worth a read. I was emailed a link to this post with the following thought included in the message:

This is what is so vital about your writing – it is rigorously focused on the activities and hard choices of adulthood.

If I’m achieving that in even a very small capacity, I’m satisfied. I’ll keep striving to push into uncomfortable realms, breaking down that BFF-ship – even if I do make occasional mention of my “lady” parts –  because that’s where the most important learning happens. I still stand by all I said here. And I hope I can continue to provide a perspective that opens people’s eyes. Makes them laugh. Makes them think. All with a dash of humility, honesty, and cute photo or two thrown in for good measure.
