My Journey Begins

I created the world of Arcadia some time ago when I thought to myself--Hey, it would be great to have a story that makes people just as entertained as Game of Thrones, or Harry Potter or some other big story franchise.  That doesn't mean that I'm that great of a writer, or someone that could even achieve that standing in the writer world.  Believe me, I'm not cocky or arrogant when I say these things - I just say what I wanna say because I believe it.

Do you believe in your dream?  I know as a writer sometimes you have to believe in what you're writing.  Or are you just writing a set limit of words each day?  Is that possible?  Will people just write to get words down on the pages?  I feel like some of the authors out there today are just writing for the paycheck.  They're just writing to get that big payday and move to the next one.  How do I know that?  Well, because if it goes through my mind it has to mean that there's a possibility that it could be true.  I don't think that every story sitting out there on the shelf is because the writer truly loved their story.  So, my question to you do you write because it's the story you believe in?

Arcadia, is a dream for me.  Ten plus years ago, I created Arcadia because I was lonely.  The main characters were best friends, heroes, buddies and it became my purpose in life to create this story and to give myself this place of escape.  It was the place I could go when I felt like the world was collapsing around me.  Now let's fast forward to now, I created Superboy several months ago--Well, actually I created this story back when I was writing my Fetish Fiction.  I was using this Superman story to write something that made me feel good.  Yes, I said it.  I wrote this originally because I was getting turned on by the main character.  Wouldn't you?  A nicely fit young man wearing a Red, Lycra bodysuit.  You would be crazy to say that you wouldn't like to read that.  Lol.

Now, a few months ago--I took the idea that I created and made a little more enjoyable to everyone.  I wanted to create a superhero story that contained and gay theme.  Now this is only the beginning of the journey, because now--Superboy and Arcadia are now one story.  But the question is...

Is my writing good enough, and will it entertain people?

Everyone regardless if they are an author or not should believe in themselves and their dreams, that's the only way that other will believe in you self belief is the beginning for dreams. Self belief is not arrogant it is an essential part of life and has it's place in everyone's life, if you don't have self belief and dreams then you have nothing.

Writing about your dreams is a form of escapism, this form of escapism can bring about many truly fantastic stories and it could be argued that this is the muse for many authors including some of the most successful so don't doubt yourself continue to write, enjoy it and get from it what makes you feel good. Remember that reading is often a form of escapism for others and they cannot use this form of escapism without the authors who write it. Every genre has it's niche audience and I'm sure that will be an audience for your stories, no author can appeal to everyone as many of us can attest to.

I'll look forward to your first offering and so will others, write for yourself and post it I'm sure that you will find your readership if you persist.
