81% of Americans, according to a 2017 Writer’s Digest survey, tell us that they have a book inside of them waiting to be written.   

The two reasons they give most often are:

1. It sounds glamorous and exciting to say, “I’m an author!”
2. They feel like they have been given a “calling” or “message” from God (or someone else) to share with the world.

Have you felt the urge to write? 

Please share your reasons why—and what might have kept you from attaining that goal.
