I've thought before about being an artist.  I'm not really good at any given style of art, but practice makes perfect, am I right?
That's very true, it takes dedication. But you know you could be a writer, technically they're artists too.
That's a thought.  I'm a decent writer, and have a pretty good imagination.  What's your favorite genre of writing?  It could give me a kick to get started :)
Ever read The Dresden Files? Fantasy/mystery series, great world-building. I enjoy writing most when I get to world build like that!
I haven't, but I keep being told I should read them.  They do sound like they'd be something I'd enjoy.  Do you think that genre is oversaturated at this point?
I mean, the guy's written 15 of them at this point, and short stories, so there's clearly a market for it if you're good.
Wow, didn't realize how many there were.  That makes it daunting to get started reading them, that's for sure.  But they're short, so shouldn't take long to get through I suppose.
Yes, absolutely. It's easy to stay motivated when you can read through a whole story in one sitting. And it's worth it.
