"Do you even make money writing books? Otherwise, it's useless."
I was just told this today, and I'll be honest, it hurt more that it should, because it came from a person that I hoped would support me in what I do.
No, I don't earn money from writing books. But I do it because it's my outlet for my imagination, and I enjoy being able to create and share it with other people. Although I am still hoping that someday I could build a legitimate career in writing, I know that I still have to work hard and practice in order to reach that level, even if that means writing books that don't have monetary value for now.
Writing is one my hobbies and passion, so it honestly broke my heart hearing those words. But I'm trying to not let it affect me because I'm trying to accomplish something during this ECQ and it'd be a waste to get discouraged now.
To the people that continuously support my books, thank you. You have no idea how much your support means to me. ❤️
