Would you rather Write for yourself or for people ?

May 31, 2017 4:25am CST
I aspire to be a writer. I absolutely love putting my imagination into words. Once you think about it, it amazes you that the possibilities you could imagine. You could conjure your own world into sheets or you could put your own life experiences into it. So, My question is what would you write about and why ?

First, I am a learner and they are many great people. I am trying to write for myself first. After that it is for the people to decide whether to accept me or not.

I would rather write for the people than myself. John Madden self praise is for losers... be humble.

I wouldn't know. When I write I just sit down and write and there is no telling what will come out. My first rhetoric professor was really into just writing and he didn't care what it was about or if the writing was correct or the grammar was correct. He just wanted us to write. For our final, we had to buy a binder and put all of our work in it at the end and the first thing had to be a letter to him about the semester and what we thought of it. My first sentence to him was " I'm going, to be honest with you I have no idea what I'm doing. I just sit down and start typing and sometime later I've got a paper." He read it during class while we were working and he just started laughing. He told me that he enjoyed reading my work because it always made him laugh and he thought I could write a book based on my life and family. He has written several books and I loved reading them. I really enjoyed his class and was very upset to hear that he was leaving our college after this school year.

I'm going to write about my memoir so that people may have a glimpse about how I had lived my life.

Writing Life
I like writing for both. I write alot of poety on allpoetry.com under the name of Norris5576. I also like to write on post aloop and on this site. My writing keeps me moving and grow as an individual person. Writing is like breathing to me it justs flows naturally.

I would rather write for other people. I'm not a writer and not native English speaker. I want to be able to write articles on any topic that other people can use. I'm actually here to practice some English

I have a blog where I write about my experiences. I hope that through it others may get inspired and get some learning too. Unfortunately, I haven't posted for one month because of my trip to Indonesia. Time was so hectic finishing all my responsibilities at work, at home, and also planning for the trip.

I can write whatever runs into my mind. I can write for myself and write for others by paying my work.
