Roald Dahl has a really interesting view regarding writers. And I tend to agree with him.
It seems that the higher to aspire, the harder would it be to beat the feeling of achieving that. Maybe being a writing is one of the highest achievements?
“A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul, and that, I am sure, is why he does it”
PS: If you’re serious about writing and you want to have a long-lasting website that stands out of the crowd, check out one of the best SEO tools out there, Mangools.com, and get on the first page of search engines. You can find my full Mangools review here).
Oh, and don’t forget! Now you can Ask Me Anything! through this form. I’m looking forward to talk to you!
I will agree that one of the greatest joys I take from writing is that I answer to no one about what I put on the page.

Only really started to write seriously this year. Writing about my experience of being an adopted person. Writing is a release and a way of learning deeper about myself. Blessings Joy

I am also adopted. I was a State Ward child. I’ve incorporated some of it into my fiction. Let me know if you run into any mental road blocks about how to continue.

It really is foolish to write (hahahahaha) as if anything positive can come out of it, wait, everything about writing has a positive vibe to it! (except maybe the eternal struggle of creating something out of nothing).

There is always something positive in writing even if the process can be painful and the creation might be depressing. The feeling would still be of relief, which is positive. Thank you very much for reading! ❤

Love the quote and the picture. Sometimes I wonder about what I write – like it came out by itself. Did I really write that?

This happens especially when we’re in that sweet spot where words won;t stop coming out!

That is a sweet spot. Especially if the words work well! Even if they don’t it’s fun when they roll off your finder tips and come out spelled correctly!. 🙂

I love Roald Dahl, and this is really true. The biggest thing I get from being able to write is the freedom to create and explore. There’s always a new project to work on or build, like today I started a Facebook page to share the best poetry I come across online, and I’m really excited about it (https://www.facebook.com/joestoutfoundonline). In the corporate or business world, it would be seen as crazy to drive traffic to my “competition,” but I think this is something that will benefit poets and poetry as a whole, so I’m jumping in and seeing where it goes!
