Why Do You Write?

Everyone writes for different reasons. Some write for the money; others because they have a burning message they want to share; others to get to know themselves and find out what they are really thinking.



Perhaps the same person writes for a whole lot of different reasons, depending on how they are feeling at the time. They might start off wanting to write for money, but become so fascinated by the whole process that they end up writing for the sheer joy of it.



There's no one correct reason for wanting to write. You write for your own reasons, and it doesn't matter what anyone else says. It's you who sets the agenda.



But the one person who really needs to know why you write is you yourself. You set your own agenda, make your own rules.



Why not spare a few minutes to write about why you write? You never know, you might learn something about yourself.
