What I Love About Being a Writer

One of the things I love most about being a writer is the sheer variety that each day brings. I’ve always known that I could never be someone who thrives on the monotony of a 9-5 job, clocking in and out and doing the same thing over and over again. The idea of doing that for the rest of my life? Honestly, it makes me shiver.

But writing… writing is a different world. Every day, I get to live a new life. I get to dive into the minds of characters who are nothing like me, explore situations I would never find myself in, and experience emotions that range from heart-wrenching sorrow to overwhelming joy. Writing a book isn’t just about creating a story—it’s about living that story. And the beauty is, no two stories are the same.


One day, I might be spending hours in the mind of a billionaire, navigating the complexities of power and privilege. The next, I’m with a rock star, immersed in the chaos of fame and the quiet vulnerability that comes with it. Then, I find myself caught up in the playful, messy dynamics of a romantic comedy, laughing and falling in love alongside my characters. Each book is a new journey, and every chapter feels like a different job.

Being a writer allows me to wear so many hats—creator, explorer, detective, lover, dreamer—and I never have to stick to just one. It’s exhilarating to jump from one world to another, and it’s what keeps me passionate about this career. There’s a freedom to writing that I don’t think I could ever find anywhere else, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.


So, for anyone who thinks writers just sit at a desk and type away all day—sure, we do that. But we’re also living a hundred different lives along the way. And that’s what I love the most.
