And That “Someday” Starts Right Now

There’s a moment every writer faces—the quiet kind. The kind that sneaks up during late-night writing sessions, or in the middle of a messy draft, or when you’re staring at your own words wondering if they matter.

And then a simple quote like this one shows up “Someday, you’re going to be someone’s favorite author.”

When I saw it, it hit me straight in the chest. Not because of the someday, but because of what it promises: that someone, somewhere, is waiting for the exact story you’re writing. Not a perfect story. Not a polished story. Not a story that fits every trend or pleases every critic. Just yours.

The Power of One Reader

We forget that we don’t write for everyone. We write for that one reader who needs our voice in the exact moment it finds them. Maybe they’re craving escape. Maybe they’re aching for connection. Maybe they’re lost and your words become a map. And one day—sooner than you think—someone will pick up your book and feel understood for the first time all week. They’ll finish your last chapter and stare at the ceiling, replaying scenes you created from thin air. They’ll dog-ear pages, underline lines you wrote in absolute chaos, and talk about your characters like they’re real. To them, you won’t just be an author. You’ll be their favorite author.

Every Author Starts as “Invisible”

Before readers, before reviews, before sales, there is the invisible stage—the stage of doubt, drafts, and “Is anyone ever going to read this?” I know that stage well. It’s the place where my first book Backline was born. The place where the sequel Crossfade took shape out of heartbreak and healing. The place where my voice began to feel like something worth listening to. And the truth is, invisibility doesn’t mean insignificance. It means you’re in the becoming. You’re building the foundation for the audience you haven’t met yet.

Your Future Readers Are Waiting

Someone out there is going to resonate with your voice in a way no one else ever has. They’re going to fall in love with your worlds, your messy characters, your aching confessions, your raw honesty. They’re going to quote you. They’re going to carry your story in their backpack. They’re going to recommend your book to friends with the kind of enthusiasm money can’t buy. And all because you kept writing.

Keep Showing Up for That “Someday”

Write the sentence. Finish the chapter. Outline the scene. Edit the page even when you hate it. Every word is a step closer to the reader who is going to see a piece of themselves in your work. Someday you’re going to be someone’s favorite author.

But the magic is this: You’re becoming that author right now.
