I think for me it's that the writing brings you on some kind of journey and ultimately that you forget about the writing when you're reading it, you're just enjoying the images/ moods/ characters etc that it's planting in your head. <br />I think it's difficult to not get pigeonholed if you're particularly good in a given area, but always write what interests you most at a particular time and it should lead you to your strongest stuff...Niamh Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06519443787482685320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392110820423124271.post-54071045420371073032010-09-21T09:11:46.545-06:002010-09-21T09:11:46.545-06:00Gosh - I think I'll go with your one if you do...Gosh - I think I'll go with your one if you don't mind cos it's succint and speaks volumes to me. <br /><br />"She's worth reading".<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392110820423124271.post-61697627633059102182010-09-21T08:18:48.408-06:002010-09-21T08:18:48.408-06:00I have always loved to write but I never really th...I have always loved to write but I never really thought about why or what my writing could mean to other people. I just wrote for me. Friends and family encouraged me to write to become published and that sounded like an amazing thing to do. Again, still not considering any impact I might have. THEN! My daughter read a {nameless} book that every other teen girl in her class was reading and then we saw the movies and... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! It became really really really important to me to start writing books about girls who were strong roll models, girls I would want my daughters to read about. So, now I feel as though I have a purpose in my writing. I want to be remembered as the writer who gives us amazing young women to admire and aspire to be like. :)M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13164868597888824692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392110820423124271.post-11852244159201473402010-09-21T08:10:24.779-06:002010-09-21T08:10:24.779-06:00I want to be the type of writer where people dedic...I want to be the type of writer where people dedicate their lives and want to know everything about my characters and make up their own stories about them.<br /><br />Alex<br /><a href="http://www.breakfasteveryhour.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Breakfast Every Hour</a>Alex Onghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338429566010013769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392110820423124271.post-43853214359058539472010-09-21T08:06:08.297-06:002010-09-21T08:06:08.297-06:00I want my writing to say that it's natural, no...I want my writing to say that it's natural, not forced.
