I want to write a book, and I finally know why

So, almost a month ago I made a post about how I’m trying to write a book to be actually published, long story short I have no idea how to do it, no one requested it nor do I have a deal with anyone, but still I really want to write something and be recognised for it; it sounds like vanity I know but it is what it is.

I started doing the outline for the plot line and the characters, the cracks were starting to show, all my characters felt soggy and plastic (and I only have two main ones), I felt there was no reason that justified me doing this but then something sparked: I now know why I want to do this. I want to do something wonderful, l want to create something that maybe will speak to someone else like this idea speaks to me, make my reader feel that there’s a reason to keep on creating and moving on. I also want the recognition for it but mostly the feels. It sounds cheesy, it is, but I think it’s an important step to see a goal more than word count or pages; just knowing why gives me a more solid work motivation. I now feel more ready to write.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk, I know no one reads these posts but still.

We are 2 years, 4 months, 4 weeks and 2 days away from 16th April 2026! And counting down.

Does it ever worry that you’re living your life as a cliché? I try not to worry too much about it but sometimes I just stop and worry I’m living Life as an npc and that even my deeper, more pure feelings are nothing but a copy of everyone else’s thus I’ll never be “free”

Anyways, this is my first attempt to wiki poetry… I was into dada poetry and a friend of mine brought this up so I guess I should try it, not the best lol but yeah, why not

I’m going to write a book

Do I know how to? Nope! Not at all, but I really want to y’know? It’s okay, I think my goal is doable, I have a base plot line and working on my outline, and I won’t be doing it in a short time instead my goal is to have it published by 16th April 2026, which I think it’s a nice, long span

I’ll have reminders set, I’ll write the hell out, I’ll take classes, I’ll do drafts and then get an editor, and eventually research into self vs traditional publishing and see what’s better, I’ll translate it from my native language (Spanish) to English, better yet, write it in both…

This is a dream, and a long shot, it’s probable it fails… but I want to try and I think that matters, so yeah! I’m going to write a book.

Edit: and I’ll give updates in this blog
