@Andicook I have to wait for inspiration to spark something, but once I start writing, the story seems to take on a life of its own. Sometimes it amazes me that my books come from my imagination because I don't have that vivid of an imagination outside of my writing. Since I write good the fun of it and I have an adequate income, I don't mind giving my stories away and I have a much larger potential audience on Wattpad. In print form, my books would mostly stay in the US. Here I have readers from around the world.

@Andicook Yes. I'm surprised at the high quality of some of the historical fiction I've come across. Usually I find interesting things in the Undiscovered Gems section, or I'll come across an insightful remark in a comment section, and through serendipity find promising work. I've only written one thing, and discovered in so doing that writing and storytelling is hard work. There is no sure-fire template or formula, and the amount of craft one has to learn is enormous. All that being the case, it's amazing so many plunge in anyway, and are willing to release that work for free. 

@Andicook I agree. Those are not genres that interest me either. I do enjoy historical fiction and a good fantasy. 

@Andicook I think that's a first.

@Andicook You're welcome. I clicked on your profile after reading your editing advice in a comment section. I look forward to reading your books.

@jillstroud No problem. I rarely follow back but your book looks so promising. I've been on here a bit so if you have any questions let me know. I do have one book about my favorite authors but often shout out new book finds also. Good luck with your writing! -Robert

@TheAlvarezChronicles Thank you for following me and adding me to your reading list. Your writing is so readable--my eyes flow right through it, plus the content is engaging. I've only been active recently, so I appreciate the advice on how to use Wattpad and its etiquette. Also as a newbie, I really appreciate the heads-up about little-known works to check out. Thanks again!
