Writing Scars of Our Past and Why I Write to Begin With. · 11:37am Mar 10th, 2018
I have no idea how many chapters there will be of Scars but oh my god just writing the thing had been an emotional roller coaster. I laughed in chapter 14, got teary in 15, smiled in so many, I got so frustrated while writing others, and just a few minutes ago, I was bawling my eyes out finishing off chapter 46 because I wrote an incredibly emotional scene. I finally just calmed down.
Seriously, my story is my baby and writing it, seeing it grow, and being able to put myself in the experiences of the characters just...it's a WAY different experience than reading a story and I love that other people have similar reactions to each chapter. A lot of the people who read it tell me how much they love it and, I never know what to say because it just makes me feel so unbearably happy that I can't even put it into words.
Like I said, my story is my baby, I grin at every follow, every like. I get giddy every time I read a positive comment. My heart breaks a little at ever critique and dislike. I get stressed out at every new chapter I post because I never know if anyone is going to like it.
I wouldn't trade any of those feelings, good or bad, for anything. They are the reason I write, the reason why this is my passion. I love each and every one of those feelings because they are what drive me to continue and keep improving.
I know that no matter how hard I try, I will never make EVERYONE happy and I accept that. I accept that people will despise my work. I accept that people will despise me but I don't care! I love what I do and I know that there will always be at least be that ONE person who finds joy in what I do. ONE person person who will relate do deeply to the characters that they absorb themselves in the book.
This is my passion, this is what I love to do and I plan to die doing it and I don't care how many people hate on me.
I write for the same reasons. Writing is an outlet for me.
I know the feeling, when you write you write from your heart.
