When speaking, I may have a reputation of talking way too much when I try to tell a story :). I seem to dwell on details most people miss or take for granted. To me, the details are what make the story so special. The best thing for me is being able to go to my little corner of the world and share the story as I see it and accentuate things most people miss. I firmly believe that if you gloss over the special moments in life, you end up saying "Where did the time go?" My biggest fear as a parent is asking that very question. So I will take my time, document the details and hopefully speed up my stories when talking to folks.

See, I could have just answered the question by saying, "The best thing about being a writer is including the details," but you would have missed the entire previous paragraph.(less)

W…moreBeing surrounded by writers most of my professional career in media, I have always been fascinated by the internal mental struggle faced by writers. While I am not a full-time writer, my advice would to just let it flow and keep pushing. The mental struggle of "is it going to be good enough" "am I going to offend someone" "does the writing do the story justice?" all of these are valid concerns, and the struggle can be very real, but they can also be crippling.

Internally, I had to say "get over yourself" and just tell the story. Hopefully, your audience will connect with the passion you are trying to convey. If your heart is in the right place you should be in good shape.
