Lessi varaveti!
Learning to write a novel versus an essay, or a novella vs a short story keeps me going. Our brains like learning new things, and once we stop learning, our minds and bodies start to waste away. I don't really like the thought of that, and fortunately, I have a million stories in my head.
For the past ten, eleven years, I've been writing novels. Before that, it was always short stories and essays. But once I discovered a global challenge about writing 50,000 words in 30 days, I fell in love. It was heckin hard! that's a lot of words, and trying to write a full length novel? Insane. I also tried this my first year at a 4 year university....while taking four classes. (Don't ask me how I wrote 50k words...I legitimately do not know.)
What is the best part about writing, though? The fact that writers pour themselves into a story. When you read a book, you read a work of art from someone's mind. If you think someone created that story without putting themselves, their emotions, their feelings into that story, you'd be wrong. As writers, we have to put ourselves into a story. It's the only way we can get ourselves to tackle the insane challenge of writing a book.

Are you a writer? What do you write, and why?
Love, Viv
I am a writer in the Stephen King 'everyone who writes is a writer' sense. Exploring all several genres, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Paranormal, Romantic Suspense, sometimes a little Romance. As a kid, and a voracious reader, it was fun to tell and write down stories, and it's one of the constants for me. It's usually novels, but sometimes an idea turns out to be a better short story. I like to explore scenarios. Sometimes dreams lead to ideas for stories. It's a hobby, so far, and for my own fun but someday I'll publish. I like your blog, BTW.
