My Message
I have been writing books since 2017, but what did I hope to achieve? I suppose the answer depends on the reader’s perspective. We have a near-infinite number of books at our disposal, written by a wide variety of writers. Why write? Some desire fame, money, happiness, or change.
For example, the author might write a religious book to enlighten their readers. The author of an electronics textbook would hope their readers make the world a better place through improved electrical knowledge. The science fiction writer might wish to expand the reader’s imagination. A romance author might hope their readers lead a more romantic life.
Of course, some authors have an ulterior motive. One might desire their books to influence voters, slander a group, or expose a lie.
Not all books are serious, and authors of these books only wish to entertain. And some writers do not care what their readers think. I have even come across authors stating they do not consider the reader to be part of the process.
What do I want my readers to gain by reading my words? My primary goal is to entertain. A secondary goal would be to have them think about this world and themselves. Of course, it would be nice to make a few bucks and get some positive comments…
Do I wish to change the world for the better? Of course, but my books will not accomplish this worthy task because they are in the classification of light fiction. What about my blogs? I intend them to be thought-provoking and educational. For example, I recently discussed text generators with the idea of helping people to understand the available writing tools better.
Well, what is my central message? I thought about this for some time and concluded, “I wish for my readers to be entertained as well as being educated.” While my message is not earth-shattering, it is honest.
