What's the point of writing a novel if no one is ever going to read it?

Perhaps it’s just one of those things in life that you feel has to come out of you.
You have an idea and you need to get it out of your mind into a readable form.

I imagine artists feel the same.
Or composers !

@Picklebobble2 I have it somewhere, it's just that where and for who? It's a story already framed in my head. There isn't a place for stories here I don't think.

@Grateful4you Well for a work of fiction this probably isn’t the best place but there are other sites out there

@Picklebobble2 Not worth the bother the characters have already grown old and unsteady both physically and mentally, and worse, have taken on airs of desperation. It's sad watching them pushed back like useless invalids in my mind.

@Grateful4you Maybe it’s time for a new story.

@Picklebobble2 I would rather be faithful to old characters who have become comfortable old friends and know their own way around me, they know the secrets as well as I do, storylines, plots, character development, they are the clever one's. "They" make the magic. LOL
