Reasons for writing

I write because I enjoy it. Why? Pretty selfish, really: I like to control what happens XD
It also lets me express myself. AND I also dream of being in print and seeing my book on the shelves of a store.

I write because my self makes me.

truely?!
i have know idea why i'm writing - it just happens!!! :S

for example:
yesterday's night i had nothing to do and i didn't want to sleep so i strarted searching stuff in internet...in some moment, i don't know why or how, i just oppened "word" and started writing!!! the poem is about what we are loosing in this life and that life is what we make it and not what we have lost in it.

telling you the truth, i never(!!!) have written something about myself. my poems always are about someone's feelings or thoughts. and i have no idea how it happens, i really don't!!! one of the best poems i've ever written is "above it all" (you can read it in "lyric poetry") - i don't know how to explain it but it was like someone was talking from me and telling me what to write - i know it sounds crazy and you can call me insane but i'm telling the truth O_O''

that's all i think XD

have a nice week :]

I started because I wanted to be rich and famous.

Then, when I found out I wouldn't nessesarily become rich and famous, I kept going because Allyson kept screaming at me and Daniel and Elizabeth kept begging.

I love my characters.

I remember meeting them. Elizabeth showed up during an English test that I didn't understand, and just started dispensing answers. I got an A on that test. I'm not lying.

Daniel showed up while I was strugling to get up for school and started telling me how disorganized I was. Apparently he was stalking me for months before.

Allyson showed up during a mile run and screamed at me to keep running. She didn't quiet down until after I finished.

thunder, I love you. You make me feel less crazy. Or at least, you make me feel that I am not alone in my craziness.

I write because if I didn't, I would begin telling my roommate bedtime stories.

Writing is for me the definition of freedom of expression. I enjoy being the creator of a world where anything I want can happen. I do plan to make writing m career later on in life, but for now I write because my ideas deserve to be let out of their cage every now and again.

To be honest, I write because I can express myself in there. One of my stories (now on hold), Highest Degree was about deaf culture discrimination. My horror novel was how you can grip the fear in yourself and carry it inside of you and make you a different person. I write to express my thoughts. Without it, I would go mad.

I write because i enjoy it and most people enjoy stuff that there good at. So naturally if your winning at something you'll enjoy it more for example if your a really ogod wrestle your going to enjoy it just because you seem to constantly be winning,

and there nothing better than winning

I write to see the expressions on others faces while they are reading my storys.

Its so awesome to see someone delving into the world i created, its very rewarding to me.

and also to get published, expressionsx10000

I just love to write. I can have different ideas come out in different ways. You are only limited by what you set your limits too.

I'm a storyteller at heart. I'm never thinking about what's happening to me at the moment; I'm imagining what COULD happen to me; or what could happen to someone LIKE me. One reason I write is because it's a way of me dealing with all of my frustration, anger, and depression by putting it all down on paper and telling a story through it; thus, I clear these things out of my system.

Despite that reason, however, I love telling stories for entertainment as well. I tell stories so that other people can forget the troubles in their lives for a little bit; just like me. If I can make someone's day by them reading something I've written and taken their mind off of a terrible day, then I've done something right in this world.

I write because I have to.
Because when I write I am. I am myself. I create myself. I express myself. Some part of me reaches out to the world and possibly touches the world, and maybe a small ripple spreads.
There's no way through for me, other than writing.
I write because I believe in the human beings around me with a passion so intense and so vivid and so bright that I can't help but want to reach them, and I want to reach not just them, but every future generation, and to tell them to keep trying and dreaming and striving, because it is worth it, and because the only way we can know each other is through these stories.

Writing isn’t about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it’s about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It’s about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.

-Stephen King

I started writing solely on my believe on his words and you know what, I really did feel happy whenever I write...

I guess I started writing after I started telling my elder sister bedtime stories. That would be when I was about 8. Then one day my brother saw one of my stories and laughed at it, and I cried and gave up writing.
But ya know, whenever I tried to stop, I got depressed and I just had the feeling that I HAD to write again. So I guess I write to keep me going. It's like an addiction. Whoa.
