Below is my response to the question, "Why do you write?"
I write because I love to read my words aloud, to hear the way they roll off of my tongue and slide out of my lips. The passion that quickly pushes them out and almost just as suddenly wishes to suck them back in. I write to awe and inspire myself and others, to re-read what I have written and marvel at my thoughts. I write to relive those emotions that made my words possible and plausible. I write because I do not wish to stop being great. I write because I feel honest when I do it. I feel that I can cry on the page without shedding a tear. I write so others will hear what I fear to say out loud. I write because I feel the power within when the words begin flowing and that power is maintained as long as I keep them going.
Do you write? If so, why? If not, why not?
