Caterpillar or butterfly
My wife is reading a(nother) book and suddenly says she is about to go through a metamorphosis - she is going to be a writer.
I turn to her and say that she already is a writer, she is just not writing at the moment.
Perhaps a little history is in order.
Before I met her my wife would write the most evocative poetry I have ever read (I haven't read much but hers was still good). I don't know if I stifled her creativity but I guess a husband and 3 children does make it a little harder to be spontaneous with your writing.
Ever since I met her I have tried to encourage her to write more - perhaps the time has come. I look forward to seeing the results.
