I Refuse to Sell Out With My Writing
One of the most important aspects of my Writer’s Journey is to always be real and authentic with my writing. If my writing doesn’t truly reflect the person I am and it doesn’t reflect my actual voice, then I’ve failed as a writer. I refuse to let that happen.
I was reminded of this last New Year’s Eve when I received a seemingly random message on Twitter from a lady who told me she was looking for someone to do “clean writing”. She happened to see my Twitter profile and wanted to know if I was interested.
“Clean Writing” sounded fucking boring.
And not only would it involve clean writing, but it was clean writing for a Christian, faith-based streaming service. So basically, I’d have to travel back in time 30 years or so to my church-going days and relive all of the hypocrisy and controlling, intimidating, fear-based beliefs I’d been forced into from birth until I was a young adult.
