Hm, to me I think an easier question would have been: Why are you alive? LOL. But, really, I write for many reasons. However, the main reason is for myself. Because I truly get enjoyment from it. It is nice to see the ideas in my head on paper, even if they are crazy, idealism, or just plain weird. It also gives me a way to get those ideas out of my head before I forget them.

When I was younger, I wrote lots of poetry. I used it as an escape if I didn't like what was going on around me. It helped me with my feelings and emotions, and perhaps any anger issues I had. I think it would be correct to say I still do that, though I haven't written much poetry lately.

Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to write and be a writer. But I am learning it takes more than just the desire. However, since it is something I want to do, I think it is worth striving to become better. I have learned more in the last year than I learned in my entire life. I thank you for that.
