by

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.

Why do you write?
