Why?

When I was writing my novel, I got the funniest responses. If they make a movie, I want in. When you' 're rich and famous, don't forget me. The best one was always why?That simple question was asked with horror. Like, why would you do something like that? I mean, based on their response, you'd think I'd killed somebody.
I would always laugh and shrug. I wrote because I enjoyed it.
But I never realized how much that simple desire would affect other people. Now that it's getting published, other writers come and let me know that I have rekindled their desire to write. I didn't know that would happen. It makes me feel like I have great purpose, that I can not only entertain readers, but inspire them.
Yes, you can achieve greatness. It's not just for the rich and famous. It's for the dreamers.
So for those horror- struck people, that's why. I love write, it's my passion. But I love to inspire too. What else could I want?
