As a writer, I'm always working on a new story. Some for years. Others only a few weeks, including the publishing process. But when a book comes across my head, I have to put it on paper. If I know it from beginning to end, I easily write every detail in a short manner of time. But sometimes I don't know the end, or the middle, but I always know where to begin as I fill 'em in over the years and finish one book after another one. 

The untold stories.

The untruth truths. 

I urge you to learn to express yourself, and don't be afraid of rejection because we all get it. Remember, rejection is there just to make you strong enough to receive the praise when you accomplish something. 

My daughter told me once, “Daddy, you're so good at this.” 

I told her, “After fifty something years of messing up, you'd think I'd get one thing right.” 

Maybe that one thing is writing for you, too. A writer that writes from the heart is going to have a heart felt book. A writer that writes from the imagination is going to have an action filled adventure. Those that write from pain and suffering will make you cry. A writer overwhelmed with joy will make you laugh when you read their books. That's why it's important. Maybe not today, but one day, your writings will be important to someone. 

Just like one of the leaders in the past that had the great book burning. They all played their part. Every author that went up in those blazes made a statement to somebody. The writings were not in vain. So I urge you to keep writing and put your thoughts on paper, no matter what they are.
