Who of you are successful writers?

Congrats! I am sure that is a lot of work. How much time did you invest? I wish you success on those books.

@taciaelisepeace I couldn't really say how much time it took. The first novel was loosely based on Irish folklore and I did a lot of research for it. The second book was more of my imagination than anything. The third one is short stories. Thanks

@irishidid Quite a variety there. Well I wish you even more success!

@taciaelisepeace There are many options to take writing classes online. I also considered it. My favourit genres are novels and poetry.

@Meramar Nice! Which are you working on, poetry or a novel?

Keep trying! What genres do you enjoy? For me not at all but I am considering taking writing classes and maybe getting into it as a hobby first!

@taciaelisepeace it would be quite a big help! And accelerate the learnings itself. Who knows! But it surely would maybe someday.

I am below entry level haha but I think I may take some classes and try to learn the ropes as a hobby.

That is an amazing accomplishment! Congrats on your hard work! What do you enjoy most about the entire process? What do you enjoy least?

@taciaelisepeace What I enjoy least is probably proofing the manuscript for typos and such. I end up proofing the entire manuscript many times. And even with that some typos always go unnoticed until the book is already published. The writing is what I enjoy the most, of course. And I love creating book covers too. I wish I were a graphic artist. There is still much to learn when it comes to manipulating images.

@lovebuglena I am not good at proofing myself so I can see how that is frustrating. I love the talent that comes with graphic art. Definitely go for it!
