Will you be the next J. K. Rowling or just write for the desk drawer? Perhaps leave the fiction aside but never put the pen down? Or maybe you were destined for other things altogether? Do share your writing desires!

I guess my ultimate aim is to get published, however I don't think I really want to be a full-time author, because there's other stuff I'm passionate about that I'd like to turn into a career.
I don't dream of pursuing writing as my career, but I intend to continue writing in the hope that I can convey something that helps make a positive change, even if that change is in a handful countable of people.

@Elinor Brynn that's really cool! I've often wondered about screen - writing. Do you have to go to University, or something I guess...?
Anyway, I'd like to write for a living... there's other things I want to do for a living also, but they all are kind of things that can work around each other.
Writing is a way for me to express my emotions. I'm content with pursuing my other dreams, and writing on the side as a hobby. I definitely prefer my family here on YWS to some publishing company. This is my safe haven, I don't need a writing career
And the heart is hard to translate It has a language of its own It talks in tongues and quiet sighs, And prayers and proclamations
It would be fun to publish at least one thing, but if that doesn't happen, I am happy just writing.
