Love this! For awhile when I first started on Medium,I was afraid to piss people off. But as I went along, people were letting me know how much they could relate! Writing is my Happy Medium! :) Lol.

Another great read! I always knew I had a voice, I'm now learning how to accept and appreciate it!

You don't find your voice. You already have one. So true.

'As a writer, your most important job is to hone your voice, not water it down.' I like that. Thanks.

It was a tough week and it took me a week to find this after getting interrupted. Loved the message.

Oh, Linda! This post touched me in more ways than one. It's something you said about our essence, about maintaining our writer's self above all. I'm going to say something now that I refrained from saying up until now: I like and I voted for an unpopular person. Nowhere in my writings have I made my case for fear of retribution and mean comments. Unfortunate that we I have to step on my own feet while hiding the way I look at life. Good post, Linda!
