💬 AWC Town Meetup | What's your writing origin story?
Welcome to another Asian Writers Collective Meetup! We’re sharing about writing origin stories today.
Here’s how this works:
Answer the questions: how did you start writing and why? This is your chance to also plug your Substack, so be sure to include the URL.
Read through the comments and say hi to someone else. Bonus points if you check out their Substack and leave a comment there.
Have fun; remember to be kind. 🤟🏻
As you leave your comment, don't forget to respond to others. :)
When I was a kid, I didn't really care for writing. But in high school, in the early 2000s, I discovered blogging. I started a blog in 2002 or so, and just started to write whenever I could. It was mostly really stupid stuff, but once I got more of a following, I started to realize that maybe I did like writing. Even though I didn't consider myself a writer until around 2017, I will always credit my love of writing from blogging. I still consider my Substack (https://rafiakhader.substack.com/) a blog. I mostly write about the writing life, with all its struggles, but also write about my life. It's all connected.
