Very well said, obsession is passion! I love that!

You and I are the same age! I say pull that bad boy out and write it. Work on it. Have fun with it. It may just end up being the book you were meant to write!

I've been an avid reader from the time I could string sentences together (yes, even before I started school, I have mum to thank for that) and I've been writing for almost as long. I grew up with all the same authors you did, being of Gen X, and went through a real vampire phase when my kids were little, around the time the first Twilight movie hit the cinemas, although I've been a vampire groupie since The Lost Boys was released in 1987. I have written a full vampire story but it's been sitting on my external hard drive since 2009, unedited and needing some serious love. I really commend you on your passion and drive, because I'm still struggling to find my own voice, even at age 49! I think you're right, I need to start writing for me, not other people. Maybe then I'll actually revisit the vampire genre, and finish that story!

I should have added developmental editing to this as well, but it didn't quite fit in with the gist of the story! But writing in your obsession really makes for a fantastic story!

Writing is my obsession as well publishing books I think people should read. Working in an obsession is such a powerful, fun space!
