I started writing in 2009 and up until 2019, I wanted to be published. Really, I'd try to query and things like that. I have four or so books published via Kindle and everything. Then I realised I don't have the money to make it happen and I don't write fast enough to spit whatever is extremely popular at the moment to gain traction like that.
I still write and I love it. I like sharing it, I like when people read and tell me they like it. I know I am, at least, a decent writer.
I struggle connecting to other writers exactly because I don't want to be published and get annoyed with how that's the topic of discussion a lot of the time. (It's less about people taking about their dreams and more about not feeling like I belong in a community of writers.)
I often try to give up writing altogether, but it's a hobby I really love, a passion if you say.
