Call yourself a writer first. This may sound silly. You may be thinking, “well, I only make a few dollars from writing,” or even a few cents. That doesn’t matter…

Will we be a democracy or an autocracy? — Today is election day. You may have heard that Democracy is on the line. It is. It might seem like your vote doesn’t matter, but collectivity, it does.
