How'd you pursue writing when all this time your lowest.

[Cilleam]

How did you pursue writing when people don't acknowledge your works instead they critic it ?
It always happen when I wrote something but I call myself as a writer. Isn't it funny. I include "Writer" in my bio but none of my works has been acknowledge officially. Thinking of those things makes me doubt. What on Earth am I living for ? If the only skill people know about me isn't enough for them. Since my course is communication arts, writing is the only skill of mine related to it. I don't like facing cameras either. These days I'd like to explore but I don't have any gadget to do so .
Just sharing and hoping to read you advice . Thank you

Don't write to please others, write for the joy of creating something new for yourself. Any art, whether it be writing, painting, dance or song should be done to make yourself happy. If other people enjoy your work or you can make a living at it all the better, but this shouldn't be the defining measure of its worth.

Showing your stories to others is a brave endeavour. Take the critique as a review of the work, not as a review of you. We can all learn to improve our writing and others may provide ideas we haven't considered. But in the end, you chose what to apply. Create the characters, places and stories you want to read. Remember people have different tastes. Someone may not like your writing because they don't enjoy that type of story.

As for calling yourself a writer. Why is this so important? We're all many things- son or daughter, husband or wife, friend or foe. No one term defines anyone. Plus a person doesn't need to sell a piece of their work to be a painter, they must only paint. Rediscover what you enjoy about writing and reading and go forth with those feelings. I hope this provides some points to reflect on and helps you move forward.
