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 write for many reasons. It started as an escape from unhappy circumstances. In my written fantasies, I could find the happiness and love I could not in RL. I also write to learn more about myself. Whether it be original, fanfiction, deep & thoughtful or pure smut, I learn something new about myself just by forcing myself through the thought processes. I also often find writing a form of relaxation. These are just a few of my reasons... but probably those that are most important to me and closest to my heart.

Yes! The learning process is another fascinating aspect about the whole writing thing. Thank you for sharing!
