Yea, I ordered business cards.  Soon I will have exactly one short story published so I went and ordered business cards.  Do you know why?  Because we need to celebrate our successes.  This is my positive reinforcement.  A year ago I was talking to a board of authors and they asked me what I wanted out of my writing.  I told them, I wanted to get new business cards.

Something, that is tangible.  Something that screams out to the world I have succeeded.  Here is proof.  I have a business card.  With a flourish I can display my new writer’s card.  The clouds part, and a sunbeam shines down on me.

I am a professional writer.

Beware world, I’m going to unleash prose like never before….

I am writer, read my words.
