Welcome to our community. My name is Christina, I wrote under the name Tabitha Dove. I'm a published author. Writing is NOT easy. Getting the story written is just the first step.
80-82% of people want to write a book. 16% actually start. 6% make it halfway and 1-2% actually finish. According to Google.
Writing is not a place you arrive. Instead it's a station you leave multiple times on journeys of your own creation.
Why write?
•unrequited love
•what if I had made a different decision when I was younger
•curiousity and interest about historical and public figures
•interests in traveling
•story(ies) and characters burning in your mind
•autobiography, diary, memoirs
•interest in crafts, cooking, plants, animals, anything you are interest in
•medical breakthroughs
•medical journeys by patients
•self therapy
The list is endless. My reason started as closure to my abusive marriage. I was able to off my ex husband in my book. infact I planned a series to off him in a different way in each book.
Then my heart began to heal and I changed my goal to helping people trapped ine abusive situations get out and or get help. Give them hope for a better life. Now I put the abusive tendencies in the characters and offer them.
What is your reason?
What are you writing...book, novella, genre?
