Rupert asked T.R. Preston:

What do you think are some top reasons why "wanna-be" authors don't write?

T.R. Preston A good question. My first guess would be the fact that very few people want to create something that will be publicly scrutinized and picked apart. The fear of people finding their hard work underwhelming can be crippling to most people. But if you are talking more about never even finishing their first chapter, that answer might be even easier. They just don't have the passion for writing that they thought they had. If the passion to be a writer wholly consumed them, then they would find a way to do it. They would have no choice but to. It would be like an itch they cannot scratch. If they always start, then swiftly give up, then I find it hard to believe their heart was in the project at all. Now, there could be a third case; in which there are creative people who cannot find the time to put these projects together due to living very busy lives. That is unfortunate, but is known to happen.
