Whether you are a writer, a dancer, a singer, a craftsman, or even a builder – creating takes passion. Passion it what drives you to a better you; it gives you the stamina to finish. So before you begin on that project, ask yourself – why do this?
For me, I started writing just to get those distracting daydreams out of my head. But to finish a short story, a book, or even an entire series, I needed more motivation than that. The majority of my writing has an ‘eco’ theme to it, and thus, my title – Eco-Fantasy Author. Even in my short story in Forbidden Future, I had to throw in the backstory of solar energy vs. nuclear energy, and why both can be harmful to the environment.
My books are definitely just that – a good (hopefully great) story told. But I hope my readers take away more from them. My goal is to spur them into action, even if it is simple like recycling more, starting a garden, or buying earth-friendly products!
