you are worth the trouble

My passion throughout the years for writing has been like Jenny in The Click Five. Its like today you want to be a writer and tomorrow you don't. Its not that i have problem deciding whether to write or not write but more to the fact that a serious writer is a lot harder than i have ever pictured. Let me share with you a piece of my complicated mind, to be a serious writer you have to select a certain genre for a specific target of readers you wish to impress. Let say you pick the romance genre. you still have to decide what age range of reader you want to write for. You have to do research on whats hot and whats has no longer appropriate, slang that is still in trend and relevant, similarity sense of style that need to be used and yet you have to be unique , and many many more (not as easy as it seems eih?)

Next comes the question of plotting, whose gonna be the hero/heroine , whose gonna be the bad guy, what surprise have you plan for your reader. Structuring the idea is also important, may it be too predictable? will your readers understand the idea that you are conveying? and plus will they ever like your writing. Will it be a master piece or a piece of shit? (i know its a lot of drama)

Before writing, one must also decide on how thick you want the writing to be. Do you want to write as novel; long winded with many sequences or do you prefer short and simple. And Grammar.. aAAA don't start .

But you know, i think i want to work hard for this new interest i have. I want to spend years writing as writing is a way for me to speak to other people. I want to offer my best at writing for the reader to get a simple light reading for relaxing. I know that i'm far away from that, but all the trouble will be worth it.
