Writing Excuses 9.53: Writing for Fun

From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2014/12/21/writing-excuses-9-53-writing-for-fun/

Key Points: We get into writing because it's fun, because we love it. If you think "I'm just a hobbyist" or "I'm not a real writer," you are wrong. If you want to write, you are are real writer. Have fun. Experiment. Try something new. Outline a really cool, exciting idea. Write fan fiction! Don't get trapped into thinking that everything you write has to be important or publishable. Have fun, get excited, and write.
( Talk about fireworks and other excitement! )

[Dan] That could be a great writing prompt. Everyone listening to this, you've got that one thing that you really want to write that you haven't let yourself write yet. Go write it right now.
[Brandon] I think that we can do that. We are out of time. So that's your writing prompt. Write that thing. Write that thing, that idea you had that is just a goofy idea. Where you're like, "Oh, I could never do that." It's time to write that thing. Make that your New Year's promise to yourself that you'll write that thing. Whatever it is. This has been Writing Excuses. You're out of excuses, now go write.
