Fame isn’t Everything!
Write as a writer and not for fame. That is the best way to enjoy writing.
I started to write not for fame or money (although, before you complain. I agree, money is good!). I started simply because I wanted to do just that ‘write.’ I also write on www.vocal.media.com , Word Press and I have a blog. I also like to write about what my stories are about, usually when sharing links.
I write about mental health and other serious topics, I write humour topics, fiction and non-fiction, and if you have ever read my articles on Vocal, you’ll know I now write in the ‘filthy’ community and I’ve even written a horror which was a challenge as I have never done that before! I even write offline, for the sake of it, and when I’m writing my book. I think its safe to say ‘I was born to write!’
There are many famous writers and poets out there who I greatly appreciate the works of. E.L James, William Wordsworth, James Patterson, Marti Noxon, Enid Blyton and many more. However for me writing isn’t about being ‘famous.’ It is about challenging myself and using my imagination, self-expression, having fun with words and much more. I don’t see the fun in concentrating on being famous, it means stress, and writing should be fun. I know many writers who are stressing themselves out by trying to make their writing ‘perfect’…
