There are many authors who just started their journey and many readers who want to write but have no courage to do so. Please give them a tip and a word of encouragement.
For those who wish to write, I know it takes a lot of courage and self motivation to start a new thing but if you can definitely give it a try. And for those who have just started their journey, congrats you have passed the first step.
Lastly I would say, your first reason to write should be because you want to write and not because you want people to read. When you will write for yourself, you will have that sense of satisfaction.
Last but not the least, have you ever dreamt of writing your own comic?
Nope.
