Because it's fun! I write stuff cuz I wanna share the story I've come up with to as many people as possible!
I mean, money’s nice and all, but I’d probably be working on other types of projects if money was the sole guiding principal. As it is, it’s somewhere in the ‘yeah, I’d like it to be commercial and to make a ‘living wage’ writing’, and I really don’t give two twitches about fame beyond knowing that anybody else is enjoying what I’m doing.Is it for money? For fame or glory? To be immortalized in the annual of history?
Is it for Joy? For pleasure of the craft?
Is it for catharsis to cauterize a wound in your heart?
Is it to shower the world in a truth, a true dark shade of a world you see?
For a long time I have wanted to write stuff that fills in holes in what's out there. Things other people don't think about or don't care to do. Part of it is being contrarian. Part of it is missing things that just don't exist yet. Finally over the past week I tried writing my first short story and published it here yesterday. It's not what I imagined I would write about for my first story, and I don't know if it's good or garbage, but it was good to finally get something done.
Some people write for the same reasons, some people don't.
What are yours?
Share them here if you like.

Is it for Joy? For pleasure of the craft? or maybe the carvings of good decent pros?
Or is it to savor a fantasy of your making? Is it for a moment's escape from this world?
Is it for catharsis to cauterize a wound in your heart?
Is it to change the world? Make others see what worlds could be rather than what we see?
Or that infectious emotion to share and to inspire others?
No? Is it to shower the world in a truth, a true dark shade of a world you see?
What I yearn~ for is that single narrative moment, where threads of story are grown and cultivated until it blooms into a single crescendo.
That satisfaction, that narrative perfection of 'making sense" is what I run towards.
Not that I have succeeded,mind you.
But polishing my craft and working towards that moment in a story is what i strive for.
so, yes in a way I don't need to publish my stories, and for a long time I haven't, I wrote and wrote for myself, and my friends when they asked.
But now I am looking at a long web novel format, the reason being I want something that could at least glimpse some semblance of how traditional epics worked.
That Journey feeling, I want that.
For that I need endurance, and publishing it somewhere ensure some accountability to keep moving forward.
And then @Tony happened, coincidentally on the few days after I started putting my notes together Tony brought the hub to nuf,
so, joining the first of Jan 2019, I post no where but here.
Share and share alike
