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

This subreddit got me writing again after a few years of no creative writing. So it inspired me to write *at all*. 
 However, what made me write more seriously... 
 I wrote a prompt response that was... substandard. Due to being less than 30 words, it was hidden on the prompt ( I think it was eventually restored, but ca n't be sure. ) When I discovered this, I took a look at what I'd written, a look at the rules of WritingPrompts, and a hard look at myself. I felt shame, and resolved to do better: to weave epic tales for all to enjoy. 
 So, yeah. This subreddit got me writing, and a poor effort on my part inspired me to better uphold my end of the bargain of being an author in this illustrious creative forum.
