Question: Why do you want to get published!?
I've been seeing a lot of people posting questions concerning publication!. What's everybody's motive (if you guys don't mind me asking)!?

This is a question for both published and aspiring authors!. Feel free to answer even if you just "think" it's something you might want to pursue!. Be honest, and don't worry about what other people might say about your reason!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'll say I'm annoyed by those questions because it's like the easiest thing to research!. I researched it when I was twelve and found out all about it!. If a twelve-year-old could do it, then why can't other people find it out for themselves!?

In any case, I want to do it to get my work out there!.!.!.you may be thinking that's silly because there's the internet, but there is no pride in publishing something that you didn't have to work hard for!. I want to experience everything there is to traditional publishing!. I don't want to take an easy short cut!. I almost want a lasting legacy, you could say!. I don't care about being famous or earning money!. I want to do something that will make me proud, something that I've worked my butt off for years on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think I would like to see opinions of my writings in great plentitude, which would, in general, only be possible with publication!.

also, I think there's a need somewhere for a sense of expression, that I have put myself in the world's eye, have put my emotions, maybe, or my ideas out there for everyone to see, while still being able to hide behind my work!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

'Cuz I've dreamed of being an author for years and years and years!. I've written books, I've taken classes, I've done a bunch of preparation stuff!. I feel like I'll be ready someday, and I want to share my talent with other people!.

So basically: I LOVE writing, and I hope there will be some people who'll love reading my work!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I just think that it would be cool to be published and to contribute to the world of literature!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm not seeking publication but if I ever craft a piece of writing I want people to see, something that will convey a message I want it to get to the worldWww@QuestionHome@Com

All that hard work shouldn't go undone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
