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 don't care if you screen this or not, but I write because it's my way of relaxing.

It's my creative outlet, to discover a new world, a new bunch of people to write about.

I write the stories I do because they aren't there yet.

...Writing is like letting go, and discovering more about yourself through what you put on the page.

But that's just me. I don't know about everyone else. :-)

I totally hear you on the relaxing bit and very much agree.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. I think it's wonderful to have so many different replies and from such a wide variety of age. :D

It's a nice way to wind down, you know? :-)

It is pretty cool to find out why people write, what they get out of it and that kind of thing. I guess it's all about perception.
