Sometimes I compare my job as a writer to his and I wonder if I’m bringing enough value to the world and helping enough people.
Genevieve Parker-Hill
The above quote comes from a wonderful post called Write the Book, Save the World.
In the post Genevieve wonders why she should be proud to be a writer when her husband who works with a large nonprofit organization seems to be bringing so much more value to the world?
Here at WritetoDone we believe every single writer matters. As Genevieve says:
what if your work helped just one person? What if your work connected with one person and colored their life with joy for one moment? What if it gave just one person a powerful connective experience, a sense that they aren’t alone?
Below are 10 reasons why you should be proud to be a writer in the real world, because in the real world, writing, and writers, really matter.

Let me know in the comments below why YOU are proud to be a writer.
