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 use writing just as I do reading; a means of escape from the mundane of daily life. Also, when I write Snape's character, it is more a form of catharsis – I give him a similar, if not more horrific, childhood to mine, and it's very therapeutic to allow him to vent and act out some of the frustrations and pain associated with abuse, and to give him someone to help him on the path of healing.

I also write as a means to connect with others, to bond with people I would have normally never met.

Escape is always a good thing, I think, when it comes to writing or reading.

I won't say anything on the abusive childhood because if I do, I won't stop. Know that my heart goes out to you.
