The Hardships of Writing a Story

When I first attempted to write a story was probably in Preschool, so so so many years ago, I didn't think much, but I like it. I remember running up to my Dad, waving the paper around while running towards him as he came to pick me up.
I have not changed so much since that time. When I write, I'd like it to be for the sole purpose that I like it. I really don't like writing essays, prompts, or anything like that, but for the sake of animals, I am able to sick in until the end. Wish me luck on that!
To tell the truth, I like writing because it is the only time I cam create a world of my own liking, instead of facing the hard unfair life of this reality I live twenty-four seven. When I first became interested in writing was when I became interested in reading. Reading and writing came to me when I was in my ninth year of school, and now, even looking back at the stuff I wrote then, it seems I did better then than now sometimes.
Reading is not only for education purposes, but also for entertainment, and also an escape from reality. For just a while, you're able to lose yourself in another world, where most of the time, you can predict what's going to happen, and sometimes it ends in a happy ending, one that most days don't end like.
But then, you'll have to draw yourself away from that world and come back to your own.
That's how it is for me as a writer also. I want to create a world where I can get lost in. And another added that most readers don't get to experience, is being able to direct the story the way they want it to go.
I realize though, that writing doesn't come from what you're thinking consciously. It's that back thinking voice unconsciously working that tells you what your hands to record. Many times, I'm drawn into my story, and my hands just fly over the keyboard/paper.
Other times, I'll think too hard and I cannot come up with anything.
But the time when I have my headphones blasting so loud, it's hard to really think of what I want to write, that's when my unconscious thinking comes out.
It's really hard though, to make that side come out, especially when I want to be involved in what I write. I guess that's what's so hard for writing for me. I like to be involved, but, that's not when I write the best....I wonder if that makes sense....
