@Debra writing for school can sometimes make that happen. I was so burnt out when I finished my English degree. I’m an editor though so I don’t really worry about it, but I definitely understand.

I don’t like to write, I’ve always struggled with putting thoughts into words. This is why I almost never write reviews. I make sure to rate books though! That, I can do.

I have a notebook that I’ve been keeping since I was a teenager, full of ideas that I thought would be cool book ideas for that bestselling novel I was going to write one day.

That notebook is still sitting on my shelf, it is still not a bestselling novel. Oh well…..

I loved to write until around my 3rd year of college as an English major. The harsh criticisms, strict deadlines, and dry topics definitely made me a better writer, but greatly diminished the pleasure for me.

No, and no! I pretty much always strongly disliked writing with the exception of writing letters and postcards to my friends. I get asked this all the time so at some point I was wondering if there was something wrong with me. However I’m really just a reader and I’m happy this way. Someone’s gotta read what others write, right?

Nope. I’ve never felt the urge to write anything I don’t have to. I’m good at it when I do, but as an optional activity, it’s never been my thing.

Yes, I write because it hurts if it doesn’t come out of me. Seriously, I thought I was having a heart attack, but all I need to do is write one thing that kept repeating itself in my mind. And, I read for inspiration.

But don’t you ever want to rewrite a story in a different perspective or is there a story you would like to read but hasn’t been written? That is from Toni Morrison.

I love to write and was a columnist for many years until a couple of years ago. Currently I’m writing an autobiography just for my family to read after I’ve gone and have just started a fictional novel. My only gripe is that there aren’t enough hours in a day to do all the things I want to do!

@Clay yes I do. I know how to tell a story, it just sometimes I get lost in the structure.

Yes, it does. I post on an online website where they rate your work. Even though it is erotica they can be brutal to downright nasty.,, that last part not in a good way. lol

I will always be a reader first and a writer second but sometimes it’s really nice just to make all the decisions yourself. And with Amazon self-publishing it doesn’t cost anything but time and effort to put it up for others to read. No joke.
