why is it that we write? is it because we can't come up with anything better to do? or is it because theres just a mutual need to be be heard. whether it is by relatives or total strangers. those cosest to us and those farther away than anyone can imagine. it seems to me that there are mainly two things that a perso might think about when writing a novel. this is really what i want to do with my time; and what will everyine who reads this think? well all novels are facinating to someone or another. it just depends on who you are trying to impress family, strangers or yourself. i put yourself in here because when a person writes a book there is always a subconcious need to see for yourself what is possible in you own mind. its the same way with artists. if you can't impress yourself then there is no point in painting or writing or doing what ever it is that you want to do. novels are a major example of this because its up to the imagination to make everyone else happy. and if the imagination isn't up to the task then you can never impress yourself and it will be harde to impress others.
