Why do i like writing fiction?

I was asked earlier why I like to write fiction and my answer was simply why not? I mean is there any reason out there not to enjoy writing fiction?

The thought of taking a story and making it your own, with whatever twists and turns you can come up with and never worrying that you are doing something wrong because the fact is that fiction isn’t fact, it blows my mind. If I was to write in any other genre I would most definatly stumble over legalities, what is correct and what isn’t etc. but with fiction the possibilities are endless!

I mean think about it, why can’t we have a book that starts with a romance story, then leads to introduce a vampire friend before zombies attack and it ends with a nuclear bomb destroying an alien invasion. Action packed yes although probably slightly confusing. But still possible!

I have a habit of spelling things incorrectly or saying the most stupid ideas that come to my head, do you know what that is called? Excitement. My fingers fly over the keyboard as I try to get all of the ideas out of my head and on file before they are gone forever and yes 70% of the time I will read through it later and think “What the ……” but the point is I am excited about fiction. Romance, mythological, historical, mystical, magical, adultery whatever you want to write about is possible with fiction.

My passion is to write and I write with passion. 🙂

I would love to write a book but…

The amount of friends that say to me “I would love to write a book but…” is unreal. The truth is it doesn’t take a genius to write a book. I left school with hardly any qualifications, and i have three children the youngest of whom is disabled. There have been hard times and it has been hard work but I have managed it. If I can do it anyone can do it! I can’t even explain how ready to burst I am with pride and excitement. If you really want to write a book then forget about whatever you’r but… is and get on with it! enjoy it, have fun with it, don’t worry and don’t stress about it just enjoy the feeling of you’r fingers gliding on the keyboard as you make you’r own story. I used to have a but… and now here i am doing my absolute best to help others accomplish what they think they can’t.
