I've talked about playing casual video games and reading. Today I'm going to talk about something else I love...writing.
I've been writing for decades. I started in junior high, writing for the school newspaper. I've started many books but not finished them. The only manuscript that I have finished is a children's book done in rhyme. Unfortunately, it needs to have illustrations; and the cost is prohibitive. I also have a short story finished which I shared on my blog. My blog mainly consists of TV and movie reviews.
I've written for Viewpoints, HubPages, Epinions and Bubblews. I also have spent a few months on Virily...and, of course, MyLot.
Are you a writer? Where have you written?

Maybe you should. It might give you some comfort; and it might help someone else deal with his/her grief.

Even though I love to write, I've mostly been writing for myself at the moment in journals like @CarolDM and notebooks about anything. I'm still working on pushing myself to get my writing out there to be seen. I've had my writing stolen from me when I was younger and I feel it's mentally burned me from being open to getting any new stuff published. It's something I've spoken about in my past discussions(will let you know which ones if you're interested). It takes me time to sometimes even write here. But I feel that it's almost a "safe place" here to vent. My blog is somewhere else I may write, but I know that I want to use it for income so I'm very careful about publishing about certain topics so my blog doesn't have much content. It's very difficult for me. I know that I may suffer from PTSD among other things.

I'm sorry about your PTSD and other problems. Yes, this is a safe place to share your feelings and make friends. I hope you have a wonderful day!

@LindaOHio No worries. I'm learning to cope. MyLotting does help. Thank you for the encouragement

I write. I have published three books and should have another out about Christmas time. Sometimes I think that writing is the only thing that keeps me grounded. I don't think anything I write is riveting.

@Writingghost Well, how are your three published books doing? Are you making any income from them? I agree with @LindaOHio. Someone finds your writing interesting.

@TishaMears Yes I make income from them. It has certainly been worth the time I put into them.

@LindaOHio I love to write. I have been writing on Hubpages for over 10 years. I have also tried other sites, many of which are defunct. I also like to write books for reluctant readers, those who read way below their grade level. I write under different names.

You can still publish those books. It's never too late. I didn't know you were on HubPages.

@lovebuglena I'm just not active. I doubt that I'll ever write for them again.
