Reasons to Write

  • To think on paper
  • So the story will let you rest already
  • Because the characters insist on it
  • As a distraction from your real life
  • To create yourself a better life
  • To “taste life twice”
  • To live vicariously
  • Because beautiful words taste so good
  • To give meaning to an experience
  • Because you have no other choice
