What's your reasoning

When you finally decided to sit down and write a story whether it's a short story full novel screenplay or a book of poetry what was your intention. Was it to grab a bit of the limelight and fame or was it the money that interested you or maybe it was simply for pleasure.

Mine was simply pleasure I love creating story's but of course I would love the fame and fortune Who wouldn't.

I have so far only ever written anything on my Blog that I share with anyone who wants to read it. Unfortunately not many people do. I suppose I write for pleasure but it would be nice to earn money doing something you really enjoy such as writing.

Always for pleasure. An idea comes and I just love exploring and expanding it into a story, short or long.

Fame? Definitely not! But if I'm pleased with something I've written I'd love to see it published and I wouldn't say no to fortune.

I started writing when I was 15 or so. Making up my own screenplays (I was terrible hah!).

I wrote some stories too, but I kind of forgot about it until a year and a half or so ago.

Since then, writing has taken over my life!

It started as a hobby until my friend started reading my books and told me to persue having them published :)
