A/N: This is just a mini rant I wanted to get off my chest. Funny that it happened during my cousnelling class.


Why do I write? I ask myself this every day. Why write when nobody sees it or likes it or comments? I really have no idea why I still keep trying. Why do I still have ideas swirling around my mind wanting to be released? To be let go and published for the world to see.

Haha, yeah for the world to see. Some dream you have their girl!

Sigh.....

Seriously though...

Can I not turn off the these thoughts? Ask them to stop plaguing my dreams and making me feel  excited to write it only to be disappointed by its views?

Yeah, seriously don't know why I do myself that.

I've tried to start afresh like twice!

Have three wattpad accounts and other writing accounts somewhere else but it's no use.

I've tried to write the cliché stories but they don't feel the same. They feel overdone and not me.

Sigh....

Why do I write? 

I thought I've come past this and maybe I have and it's something different that plagues me.

Maybe I need to put more effort, more time?

More sweat and tears?

I write not for fame or money (though those things would be nice)

But no deep down in my core, I never wanted that.

I just want people to like my work, to get excited over a character's story. Feel scared when their fav person may die, or to come to the end and left on a cliff hanger.

I want people to connect to my work, as I have connected with the books that made me a writer.

So that is why I write....

To share my stories, 

To create friends, connections between my characters and the reader.

To have them steal a way into your soul.

Even if it's just one person that feels this way, then I have accomplished why I write.
