To me, this is a weapon, a tool, a symbol of the work it took to achieve my dream of becoming an author and the day-to-day labor it takes to remain one.

To my dog it's a cool stick she stole off my nightstand and took into her crate to gnaw.

Being an author means having the audacity to believe you have something worth saying, the humility to take feedback & rewrite til you say it right, the vulnerability to put a piece of yourself into the world, & the toughness to weather the rejection that comes.
