Writing for fun
I know the aim for most of us is to get published. Hell I have a bunch of people reading my finished novel right now to see if it’s worth it.
But I have to say after having written nothing for years getting back into it has been rewarding in its own way. That sense of achievement of actually finishing something was great. It also kick started my imagination again and I’ve started something new.
But my biggest realisation is that I never really stopped creating. I had a daughter and spent years making up stories for her at bedtime every night. So it wasn’t that I didn’t use the muscle it was just used purely for fun.
So from now on I just write for fun. I’d like to be published but it doesn’t matter if I never do get there.
Anyone else feel similarly?
