Why Do You Write?
Magus:
I love to write because it is a way to express your creative mind. This is why I like to write.
maieo:
I write because it lets me release pent-up emotions through pen and paper, rather than through sexual frustration.
;D kidding. but the "release emotions" part is real enough. I'm an angsty teenager.
Rashad 117:
I write cause no matter how good real life seems fantasy is generally better.
that and I been told a few times that I'm good at it.
SaraCollins:
I write because things in my head go FTL and I have a symbiotic relationship with the keyboard. :D Plus my (creative) writing is good. (About my essays...well...)
etoiline:
I write because it's fun. Because it's a fantastic escape from my very practical profession. Because I'm a creative person at heart but for some reason I keep thinking I can be good at the sciences.
Because I have dreams that demand to be told. Because I can hear the music, sometimes, that underlies the scene that I'm writing, and my fingers can't do anything other than type, or put pencil to paper.
Because there are authors out there that make me clutch a book to my chest and say, damn. I hope that someday I will have a novel out there that does the same to someone else.
Because my imagination runs away from me, sometimes, and I get frustrated when I can't follow. Because people tell me that I'm pretty good at it (though some might have a little familial bias). Because I always have, and I hope I always will. It's taken a while, but I've found out that writing is what makes me happiest.
