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.

Comments

Because I need to tell stories and folks are getting tired of the ones I tell about myself. Because there are all these ideas, thoughts, words, swirling around in my head all the time. I think in prose, especially when I'm driving. I hear the cadence of speech and remember odd snippets. I think that is too big a hint from the universe to ignore.

I agree about the hint from the universe! Funny, when I'm stuck with writing, the first thing I do is go for a drive or brisk walk. Then the characters tend to talk again, and when I get home, I can write again. :D
