It's been a long time since I've picked up my pencil to write anything. I've been at home for the last couple of days (years if you look at it from a different perspective) thinking about the last piece of work I wrote and actually published. Well, it's been years.
I've been doing a lot of thinking and soul searching and a lot of things came to mind as to why I had stopped writing after releasing Altered Genesis and Practically Fiction. The first thing was the fact that none of my books were selling. Just to be clear I didn't initially write them to sell them, but to get my work out there and for me to stay you know what I wanted to write stories and share them with people and you know what I did that. But I came to the realization that if people weren't buying my books how am I sharing it with anyone. Yes, I know that getting the work done and actually creating all those stories was an achievement in itself, but I wanted people to read what I wrote and to like it. So I didn't feel great after not seeing any sales on Smashword or even on Amazon. So after no writing for a while and working at a job that was stressing me out, my creativity kind of turned off.
I've often found myself wanting to get back into writing but felt like the magic and the imagination wasn't there anymore and after looking at a couple of my books that I published I found mistakes which kind of sunk me. But like I said I wanted to get my work out there typos be damned. But happily, my work is still out there and I am slowly but surely finding my way back towards the computer to express myself. I haven't found anything that has inspired me to write a new story yet, but I am hoping that when I do, that like all my other stories it is one that comes from my heart and that it is something that I can't wait for people to read.
