Just Do It

Writing, does everyone have a story to tell/write? Apparently so. It seems that now that my first novel is being published, friends/aquaintances/strangers keep telling me how they have a story that they would love to write. My advice... just do it. Even if your book is never published and you discover that *wow* writing a book isn't easy, how will you know if that little voice calling you to put pen to paper (or calling you to your computer's keyboard) isn't your true passion. When I started writing I found that THIS is what I always wanted to do. How about you? Are you doing what you love?
