Welcome
There is this concept in Christianity called the canon. Not the weapon you see in medieval or pirate movies. But the list of books that are believed to be from God.
There is this misconception that canon is something that books are made into. That a group of saintly men can touch any book and turn it into Scripture. But really all they did was-
recognize it for what it was.
That‘s what being published means to me.
It doesn’t make me a writer.
It doesn’t make me a different person.
It‘s just when a group of wise men see me and my work for what they are.
They recognize me for who I am and decide others should recognize it too.
If this is the case, it’s simply opening the door of my life to a curious few and saying-
“Welcome. What took you so long?”
