Why do you Write?
Sir Huron Stone:
I write because I get these really great ideas (at least i think so) and I come up with stories and scenes, and i don't want to forget them, so i write them down, and they usually come out great. And then i try to string them together, which doesn't come out so great.
Naomi:
My initial love of writing began when I started reading. I wanted to create the magic I experienced while reading a book. I was (and still am) charmed and amazed at how well selected words can make the written page seem more real than life.
Later, I loved to write because it was a way to escape the difficulties of my life. It was a way to travel to somewhere else, somewhere pleasant, and to surround myself with people who cared about me -- total escapism. Also, in life I saw, and experienced, evil deeds being done without the perpetrators being punished. In my writings, evil doers always got their due, and never got away with what they did.
Now, writing is an urge so deep, so demanding of action, that I consider it primal. I write for the same reasons, however with life experience, I also write in order to put forth ideas, and ideals. To stretch my imagination, and invite others to join me on the trip. And, I write to have fun.
cenwolfgirl:

shades of grey:
It keeps my overactive imagination in check.
If I don't write for a while the characters I have hijack my dreams.

--- End quote ---
In my case that's not all they hijack, and while them hijacking movie reviews is copable with, it is less good when they start hijacking the documentation of my code. (Perl with the style of an 1890s-1910s translation of Alexandre Dumas: not optimal.)
