Writers Block(ed)

How do you write what people actually want to read?

View all responses

I began to write because I had a story on my heart- honestly, because I love the art of story telling.  But I carry with my inherent abilities no great gift.  I have never thought about what someone wants to read.  Only what I want to write.  And I began writing on this blog because if I didn’t have a source to share my pain, my wins, my ups, my downs- the journey- I’d lose myself somewhere in the unwritten world.  So many amazing writers on here with so many great stories to share.  Written in a moment, frozen in time, capturing the happy, the sad, the anxious, the angry, the every shade of being human.  And I never thought, during my enjoyment of their stories, they thought about what it was I desired before they shared their heart.  Vulnerability.

    I agree, I shared same sentiment, I couldn’t imagine how oppressive it must be to try to do something that people want to see, rather than doing something you enjoy.
