Why do you write?

  • Why do you write?
    I write to release the thoughts in my head.
    Sometimes the stories spring from the darkest part of my soul.
    sometimes they bubble forth out of joy..
    Like a pensive, I drag the thoughts from my head and allow them to swirl out on to paper.
    I write for myself.
    It helps writing for myself.
    I don't worry about critics.
    I accept critique.
    I am willing to grow and change, because it makes my voice stronger, but it will always be my voice.
    I've learned I can't write for other people.
    I lose my voice when I worry about what others will think of my writing. My stories suffer and I end up dancing around words I'm afraid to write down.
    The words stay in my head for far to long when I worry about what others will think of me.
    I write for myself.
