Why Do You Write?

via Why Do You Write?

There are several reasons why I write:

  1. It’s good therapy when I’m feeling down.
  2.  I have stories to tell that will hopefully touch the life of just one person.
  3.  I love using my imagination, and what better way to do so than through writing stories.
  4.  The music within me turns into my stories. The words are my instrument and the songs with me are my stories.

Why do you write?
