Danell’s answer to “What was the hardest thing for you when you wrote your last book?” > Likes and Comments

Thank you for answering my question. As time goes by I realise more and more that the hardest thing for me is to stick to one subject. I have many book ideas, but I seem to have a difficult time choosing one of these ideas to work on.

Some of the ideas I have I think can turn into books that will be useful to readers, but I fear that the kind of books I like to write will not be of interest. The first book I wrote was just like that - I liked writing it, but had very few readers.

I would love to make a living out of writing but I can’t compromise between what I think would have success to public and what I feel inside I have to write.

Hi Remus, You have identified a problem that every writer faces! My advice: go with your heart and your gut. You may never make a living as a writer, but your passion will help you finish the book. And, I believe, living a writing life--even if we never publish anything--gives us fulfillment and joy as human beings. If you are a creative person, write for the joy of writing. Even if one's work is only appreciated by a small group of readers, one has made a difference. Hope this helps! Danell
