I've been making big steps into launching my writing career starting from my debut biography article written by Scharad Lightbourne, well known Bahamian Photographer. However today's step, although small was very significant. It began with a paper, pen and a slight movement of the hand: signing my poetry.
Now I know this may seem silly but I haven't ever manually signed my work. They're saved, time stamped and drafted under my name but the feeling you get when you sign your piece makes it more real, more official. I felt as though it was a blueprint of who and what I am. It is completely mine.
It made me feel joyous, proud, and confident about myself and my work because looking at that signature was like seeing a reflection of myself; and I LOVE it!
