A strange question to tackle, I'm sure that we can all say that as we write, we learn to develop our sense of voice and even the kind of characters we like to create. The subject of this blog however, is what writing can teach us about ourselves.

In my book, Written, Rebecca sets out to become a romance novelist, and in doing so, she learns quite a lot about herself. Through creating what she sees as the perfect love story, it becomes glaringly obvious to her what is actually missing in her own life. She has oodles of passion in her long term relationship with her married and very unavailable man, Richard, but is that enough?

Have you ever written a story and found that the process has shown you something about your own life? Creating stories and characters, forces a writer to examine deep parts of themselves, and so it's understandable that some characters and situations can end up reflecting the writers own needs and desires.

What do you look for in a man? Do you long for true love, or do you long for passion? Are these things mutually exclusive?

If you ask yourself such questions, you really aught to check out Written, you know you want to.... getbook.at/wonkindle
