Why Do You Write?
black roses:
So I can create a world. So I can create people, and have my way with them. And after a while, I beging to geniunely like them. The characters are the best part, creating a person, making them what they are, and they giving them a life, a past, motivations... and using them. Watching them grow, watching them evolve. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm writing- I'll have this whole plan for a scene but when i get down and write it, it ends up differently, just because it seemed- right. That's why I do it. I've always loved writing, anyway, always had the urge.
polarglen:
I write to shut up the voices in my head even if no one ever reads what I produce. I write because when I told my mother I wanted to be a writer when I grew up, she told me I'd never be a writer and that I'd have "to work for a living." I've spent years trying to shut up her voice in my head.
Hope:
I write because the characters pester me and the scenes keep coming up in my mind.
Pinky Narfanek:
I write (what little I do manage to get down) because otherwise the ideas go running amok in my head. I'll be obsessed with them for weeks until I finally "forget" (i.e. give up on) them. And then I get mad at myself for not writing it down.
Besides, when I'm drifting off to sleep at night, I like to tell myself stories. And when I write it gives me more of a story.
