I’m going to be honest with you. 
​
I was very apprehensive about creating RE: Writing. 

Even though I pitched it as my journey as a writer . . . 

Even though I clarified that I’m still in the middle of that journey . . .  

In the end of the day, I would be posting writing tips. Tips I would share with other writers. Tips I would advocate as being crucial to know. 

And yes, RE: Writing has other things, too. Musings. Personal stories. Inspiration. Whatever this was. But it also has tips. 

My apprehension wasn’t because I felt I didn’t have the right to share those tips. The things I write, I whole-heartedly believe. They’re things that I have used over and over again to shape my own career. 

I was concerned, however, that my wellspring of tips would eventually run dry.  

And after I shared everything I’d learned, what else would I have to post? 

I first “met” Tom Starita several weeks ago on LinkedIn. He shared with me that he’s a two-time novelist—that his second book, Growth and Change are Highly Overrated, came out in December, 2016. Recently, Tom and I sat down to talk about his books, his experiences, and the lessons he’s learned.
​
This is his story.
