So, I was taking about an hour of down time from writing, to do some meditation. Helps me clear my thoughts and maintain my focus, when a question occurred to me. Why do I write? Since it entered my mind, it's something that has been at the forefront of my thoughts. After taking some time to think it over, I came up with an answer. Several in fact and this is what they are.
I write because I like to create people, places and worlds to read about. To make that which is in my imagination, as real as possible. I write because there are many worlds out there, but few that I could relate to and fewer still that I could see my mind inhabiting, so I create my own. I write because there are so many worlds and entire universes that I wish to share with people and when I hear that they enjoy the journey I have laid out for them, few things bring me greater joy than that.
Finally, I write because it makes me happy to be a creator of something that is filled with action, adventure, mysteries, love, and so much more! This is why I write my stories. I just wanted to share these thoughts of mine, with my fans and readers. Having shared that, I now pose the same question to my fellow writers and authors. Why do you write?
