Why Do You Write?
Drew:
It's great theropy. It just happens in my head all the time, I might as well jot it down on paper.
terioncalling:
Because otherwise my brain would have exploded long ago from the sheer swarm of the ideas in my brain. Dang things multiply like rabbits, I swear...
Richelle Mead:
I write because characters and stories are always popping into my head. I could sit and imagine them all day and feel an endorphin like joy. Getting them out on paper is like the physical manifestation of that...and hopefully it gives others joy too.
blgarver:
I write because ever since I can remember, I've had the instinct to write. I've been writing stories since I learned how to write in kindergarten. Granted, I'm much better now that I was when I was five, but I've been writing my whole life.
I never really made a decision to write, I just always have written. Just like I've always breathed, blinked, and ate...it's just an inborn desire - no, a need - to create stories. I'm only truly at ease in my own head if I've written something.
I can't really explain it...I just do it.
Cathy Clamp:
I discovered I was good at it. No burning muses . . . no desperate need to get the story told. Just a simple "seems a shame to let it go to waste." ;D
