Why I Write
I write to turn thoughts into reality. I write to make sure my character is seen. I write to expose myself, my mind. I write to relax. I write to pass time. I write to so my head doesn’t explode. I write to show the world of my capabilities. I write for self-respect. I write to get my authority on paper. I write to make sure I don’t leave anything behind. I write to tire out my wrist and make my back sore. I write to finish what I started. I write to capture the past. I write to predict the future. I write to build up adrenaline – the inner fire of suspense. I write because it’s a chore. I write because there is nothing else to do. I write because I can.
