Something I have realised is that writing is hard. It's hard in every aspect of it. It's hard to be ten people at the same time. It's hard to imagine what's inside a murder's head on the same time as you're trying to imagine what's inside a 18-year-old's. It's hard to get recognised for your writing. It's hard to get published. And it's even harder to be able make a living out of writing.
I'm not saying that it's impossible to do the things I mentioned above. People have succeeded. Books are being published everyday. When I started writing as a six/seven/eight-year-old, my intention was never to publish or make money off my stories. I only did it because I loved creating stories. I loved thrilling adventures. I wrote solemly because I loved it so much. Like we all have to, I grew up. I'm 20, and I still write because I think it's fun. I still love creating worlds, creatures and plots. Thanks to platforms like Wattpad and Radish, my writing has been able to reach thousands. My writer has in some way had an impact on people. This is one of the reason why I write, I want to be able to make an impact on people. Make them feel things they have never felt before. Take them on adventures they never could have dreamed of. And introduce them to all my characters. Truth be told, my dream is to publish a book. I would have loved to be able to spend everyday creating new worlds. I'm not going to deny it, the money would have been a big plus. However, I find it important that people know that I don't write for money or fame. I write because I love it, and you love it. Writing is part of who I am, and I hope that I can continue to write for the rest of my life. Whehter it's on my free time or as a full-time job, I don't really mind. Writing is part of the definition of me, and it always will be. Love, Kajsa
