Writing

[lady_karelia]

To all who write, I'm curious. Why do you write? I'm genuinely curious, and I don't want anyone to draw ideas from others' comments, so I'm screening comments for a day or two. I just want a really honest opinion. And if you don't want your comment to be seen, say so, and I won't unscreen it. I'm just really curious.

I've been writing since I was three years old. I've always made up storys, have always had an active imagination. I need to write as much as I need to breath. It's just what I have always wanted to do. I would love it to be my career as it is a part of my life. It is a release of pent up emotion, a fun hobby and a way to stay sane. It is a mixture of so many things. It is simply something I have to do and love to do. =)

The love for writing, the compulsion to write seems to be a strong theme in this thread, and one I absolutely resonate with. I can't imagine a life without writing. Heck, I get grumpy if I spend more than a day without penning a word. :D
