For me, I always liked to write, but I never had the confidence in my work to do so.

Only when I made it to high school years ago, When I started to believe in my abilities as a writer, thanks to an unlikely person who despite my rocky relationship with them, they still gave me an honest opinion, and said that my writing is worth putting it out there.

During my college years, I took a two years break from a lot of things including writing.

but this year was the first one I came back to doing this, and I have to admit that I was afraid I was going to hate this experience again, because I've already abandoned so many fictions I wrote before, left incomplete and I just never went back to them.

But surprisingly I stood my ground longer than I thought I would! and till now I'm still writing even when I get those weird feelings that maybe, I messed up! maybe my story isn't good! maybe people find is too complicated or off putting in a way!

I still fought myself to continue writing and with each chapter I write, I feel better about making this decision to go back to writing.

I can say that what pushes me to keep writing, is something made up of various factors.

There's the fact that someone, believed in me at first and gave me a compliment, which I never thought I needed until they did give it to me.

There is also the fact that I believed in myself, even if it was little, I tried and I put my work out there no matter how weird or cringy or even worthless I thought it would be.

There's also the fact that there is some people currently that enjoy what I do, and push me to give them more in a good way.

And I would really hate disappointing these people and stop writing, when I can tell that they are enjoying my books.

There's also the factor of you only live once YOLO!

and I seriously don't want to live a life, where I would regret not doing something when I had the chance and the capacity to do it, because I just thought about everything that can go wrong, instead of thinking about everything else that could go right.

So far this is all I can think of that pushes me to keep writing, and I feel really happy that I'm doing this right now.

If you read up till this point, thank you so much and I hope that you also if you are a writer have something to push you in a good way to keep writing.

    Well... For me, I was not a writer but rather an obsessive reader. I've been reading so many novels during my high school that I even finished half of the novels in my school library.

    I don't quite remember when but the reason I decided to become a writer is because of my limitless imagination. Ever since I was little, I would always like to picture certain scenarios before going to bed. Then that scenario turned into a plot and became a whole story.

    Whenever I was excited about my imagination, I'd always jot it down and the sentences would reach the next few pages. I was so focused on writing that I didn't realize I made a whole chapter. It felt like I was stuck in my world for a moment but my brain and my hand are the only things that are moving.

    Not only that, to become a writer, I began to learn how the authors used the punctuation. I analyzed the novels I've been reading and learned from it, until now I've become used to using punctuation even when messaging with my friends.

    Writing makes me feel enjoyable not only because I can create my imagination into a story but also, I would always do research which makes my knowledge become wider.

    Writing is limitless. It's true that it would be frustrating whenever we got writer's block cause I've been in that situation before. But to me, listening to music can also help me create scenarios. Sometimes or most of the time, I read the novels and my brain itself would twist the plot which helps me create a story with the same genre but diff plots. I really like to think outside of the box but the cons (maybe) is that my novel will never get to completed because I'd always imagined new stories and excited to make a new one😂

    Sorry for the long rambling lol... Nevertheless, thank you for reading my short journey✨

    QW_JiHi l always talked to my twin sister about what l have been thinking or what kind of story or characters l have in my mind and what kind of fantasy l do with them since l was 13 or 14 years old... And when l told my twin sister my stories she always say that wow ur stories are awesome... I wishes u could be an writter in the future....

    And when l saw the system that anyone can be a writer while reading novels here l thought y not try writing something....And so l started writing the story l have been telling my twin sister .... And honestly speaking she is a great source of motivation to me and so now l am in this platform....

    Now l have writting a novel... Although it is still on going but still trying my best and when l saw the other comments on my story everyday it makes me feel so proud amd good that it inspire me more to write now...

    I am currently in 61 chapter and still trying my best to put all the memories or thinking l have been having with me for so many years.

      I have always liked to write stories since I was young. Except I am a terrible writer and I am constantly having a problem formulating sentences both in writing and speaking. And I have to say, many a times it has become a huge problem. So I guess I can say this is like an exercise for me to better myself?
      But most of all, I want to see if I can write stories that read out smoothly that many people would enjoy. Or find myself one harsh teacher who would constructively grade me for my work. Because I don't know why, validation seems to be something I yearned for in writing.
