IWSG: January 8: 2020

It's a new year of 2020, and it is time for a new post for the Insecure Writer's Support Group. If you would like to learn more about it, please visit here:

What started you on your writing journey? Was it a particular book, movie, story, or series? Was it a teacher/coach/spouse/friend/parent? Did you just "know" suddenly you wanted to write?

Nothing really started me on my writing journey. I never was influenced by anything else to want to write, but by me randomly writing down random stories one day. Writing was instinctive to me long before I knew what I wanted to do because I at first did not want to become a writer. When I was young, I wrote stories in notebooks and other papers I can get my hands on. I just created simply because I liked creating fantasy stories. Not sure why I was doing it really since at the time I did not want to be a writer. I guess I loved the idea of creating before I realized writing was my passion.

Later on, I noticed my passion to write. This is at the time I officially began my journey. I do believe my mom encouraged me to pursue whatever I was interested in. She did also encourage me to improve my writing skills, for my writing skills seriously needed work. So, I did follow her advice.

However, it looks like my journey still at the beginning...
