Why I write


From a very early age, I started developing the habit of writing. I wrote diaries with my  limited literature level  to express my emotions during gloomy period due to the divorce of my parents. It was really desperate that things happened out of your control and you simply cannot change them. I strongly wished I were able to give myself a happy ending at that time. I lived with my mother and stepfather who was a journalist and I grew up with the atmosphere of literature in my new family .Thanks to the experience of reading more much books than before, my literature level got enhanced. At the age of 15 , I generated the idea of becoming a novel writer in the future since I wanted to create my own stories with ideal endings and gave them profound ,educational meanings .

After my graduation from university, I firstly entered a small-scale newspaper office to take part in literary activities ranging from editing newsletters to writing analytical reports after taking the suggestion of my stepfather. However, I decided to resign after two years since my ultimate goal was to write novels but the work in newspaper office lacked inspiration to me.  

Therefore, I began my 3-year journey over the world. I visited different countries , met a number of friends  and I was inspired a lot finally. During the journey, I tried to write short novels online because I wanted to share with my readers based on my experience. Thankfully, I received both praiseful and critical comments concerning my novels, some liked my storylines, some criticized my writing style, some even asked me to re-edit the endings of stories. However, I believed that every story has its own meaning and ending so I didn’t make any change in storyline of my original novels.

Nevertheless, I do have to admit that these comments are the driving force for me to write better stories continuously. Looking back my history of writing , I feel totally fulfilled since I can attained my writing objective—determining your stories.
