In other words, just start writing. Today. Don’t worry about your niche.
The day I read those words by Austin Kleon, creator and author of Steal Like An Artist, was the day I began celebrating my ever-expanding writing portfolio.
Yes, not having a so-called “writing niche” used to bother me. But, thanks to Kleon, not anymore. Topical diversity is my brand.
The fact that I can capture the splendor of the Venetian lagoon AND the spectacle of an Ed Sheeran concert bodes well for those here reading for enjoyment or for those needing a freelancer for an upcoming project.
Let me explain.
Think of me as a Jill of all trades. Someone who knows a little about a lot of things.
Myriad life experiences have nurtured my range of writing interests. A degree in journalism. Ten years freelancing for trade and consumer mags covering topics from produce merchandising to art. My current teaching practice. My experience as a parent.
What do all those experiences both reveal and cultivate? A diverse and insatiable curiosity about the world.
And if I’m curious about something, I write about it.
Make my curiosity work for you.
