[ OT ] SatChat : What inspired you to start writing more seriously ?

Honestly? Time. I'm essentially retired, and not in a position where I need to worry about bills right now. ( Well, not too much. ) So it's *possible* to focus on my own writing. 
 
 As far as self promotion, well, why not? I created a personal subreddit which somehow has a few followers ( how? I do n't rightly know! ) for which I stole the entirety of the CSS from writing prompts. If anyone knows how/where to link that, I'd appreciate it! 
 
 My subreddit is /r/AloneWeTravel, because, as a writer I thought it super-important to come up with an interesting title rather than just using my name. Oh. Wait. Oops. 
 
 I submitted a few prompts to which no one replied. Did some work on my two children's chapter books, and a chapter on my novel. And wrote several prompt responses, my favorite of which is [ Space Cowboy ] ( https: //www.reddit.com/r/WritingPrompts/comments/4to3m2/ccpispace_cowboy/ ) ( click it, and say harsh things to me! ) 
 
 I have n't been very good about transferring these things to my subreddit. Perhaps I'll do that today!: )
