Writing about what you love

This isn't as easy as it sounds. You get there eventually, but there's always that nagging voice that says, "nobody will like that", or "everyone will think that's stupid". And it's only human to want to make everyone happy. We want to please, we want to like and be liked. We want approval. But how do we get there?

Writing what you love is like being a dog that's been set free. After years of being tied on a leash, you're finally turned loose. Just like a dog, you stand there wondering what you're going to do and where you're going to go. At first you wonder what you're supposed to do, but eventually you forget anyone's watching and wander off in your own direction and do your own thing.

My obsession with abandoned places and ghosts almost always make appearances in my stories. Why not? I think that when an author is passionate about their subject, it really shows in their writing.

As long as authors write about what they love, readers will read about what they love....
