I started writing short stories when I was sixteen it was my favourite time I could writing anything I wanted. Sometimes I would write until 3am, just anything I wanted.

I can remember I wrote this story about after the fall of Olympus. I wrote a about a new Goddess of Sex and Lust it's like putting Aphrodite, and Aries together in the mist of a chaotic things happened and Charlotte was born.

When I wrote this story I thought that, I would never become author. I never believed in myself.

Have you ever looked inside of yourself being able to see the spirit inside of yourself? And you saw a void?

That's what I saw, I was the kind of teenager that wrote dark poetry, lonely. The kind of girl who everyone called the loser of the class. This is the funny thing because half of my graduation class from high school are the losers.

I have become someone.

I knew I wanted to write romance but I always felt like I had to experience what real love was just to write about it.

Some say write what you know.

I remember for the biggest part of me was so lonely. Biggest part of my childhood was writing about my characters feeling like my characters were my friends.

Everything changed when I got older, I remember writing changed when I met my husband who was then my boyfriend. I fell hard that's when I knew that I could write love.

I can remember things became much more captivating when those feelings.

This really came through to my writing.

About me on A Personal level then

I think most of us were very awkward afraid to put ourselves out there. When I wrote I lost track of what's going on around much much like now.

I wanted to feel that thing when I write and I started feeling it again when I met my Shane. He changed my whole world. I started having fantasies and my writing flow started to change.

All I have ever wanted my soul thoughts were to be a published author working for a publishing house to make a lucrative amount of money.

I started to lose slight of my passion and it's taken me along while to learn the passion of writing is a great thing, but to make great money that's just the bonus.

I have had a lot of misses in the publishing world because of lot of my writing now is pretty sensual, and taboo inspired works of fiction.

I always lacked writing with feeling, using the five senses.

What happens when I write now?

I write these powerful scenes that make me cry so much. I just wish I knew how to market, this something I don't know how to do.

My Passion Changed Me

Writing has changed me for the better, I want to know that when I have a publishing contract that I'm all over social media. I want the world to know my name. At least a small part of that world.

My husband is my inspiration for writing, so I think the key point to writing is remember to just have fun. Whatever happens it happens. Everything just comes together, and it's important to remember patience.

Even though I seriously lack this word.

What Comes after all I have experienced

I guess, more to come after learning and I think I will always evolve as a writer. Because if we didn't evolve in our passion then why do it to begin with.

In conclusion, I have changed in my writing style since I was sixteen. I think I will always evolve more and more as the years go by.

    Your article helped me realize I wasn't alone in my authorship struggles, so thank you! It brought back a memory of my creative writing high school class, when the teacher suggested I stop killing off my characters at the end of my stories. Hah! Now I write self-care non-fiction, if you'd like to read mine: https://vocal.media/lifehack/decoding-ailments-emotional-triggers
