Intro Paragraph:
Most people, if not everyone, has heard of at least one story that involved dragons and magic at some point in their life. Readers of fantasy enjoy the stories that are given to them and force them to delve into the worlds created by their favorite authors, but if not for the royalties, why do writers write fantasy? Most people would probably believe that writers write only for the money behind publishing, but writing overall has come to help people in many other situations that aren’t entirely connected to a financial premise. So what’s the purpose behind the written copies of a single story that fill shelves upon shelves at stores, homes, and libraries? Even if not for publishing, writer’s usually use writing as a tool of expression and a means of escaping formal writing and reality as a whole. Fantasy gives writers a hand in self-expression by allowing them to express their thoughts and ideals indirectly with looser rules on writing structure. My curiosity peaked and I asked a friend of mine, also a fantasy writer, what her reasons were for writing and what she was able to do with the writing that she has done, despite the lack of published works.
