This is #440 on Medium
Why do I keep writing?
As I continue to write, I ask myself why do I continue to write.
My focus continues to be on my transgender experience but, after almost five years of writing about it, I wonder how much more I have to say. I am so afraid of getting redundant and boring. How many ways can I slice and dice my transgender experience? What new insights can I add to the community that is worth reading?
I keep saying to myself that if I help one person on this transgender journey, it is worth continuing to write but writing is such an arm-distance means of communication that it is hard to know who my writing is actually reaching.
Am I just feeding my ego?
Am I inflicting a personal therapy session on the readers on Medium?
I know that I am not in this for the money…I would starve.
I needed to write this to get honest feedback from you all because I am too self-critical to listen to myself.
I don’t trust my opinion.
Thanks for stopping by,
Emma Holiday
