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

Writing Prompts inspired me to *start* writing creatively and seeing for the first time a promo for a book written by a WP author inspired me to start writing *seriously*. ( It was /u/psycho_alpaca's Eve, if you were wondering ) 
 
 However I still have a lot to learn and need to write a lot more before I tackle writing a novel for release, although I should just do it... I'm sure it will be a great exercise if nothing else. 
 
 Anyway, I ca n't wait to start writing for the contest.

 A little bit of self promo, I'm in the process of writing a story for /u/thelastdays and /u/madlabs67 ’ s prompts from last week. One is a story about an individual experiencing a mind bending experience and the other is about an adventurer stumbling upon a giant turtle. 
 
 Check them out on /r/cmp150writes, I'd love to have some feedback, and I'll do the same.: )
