I was wondering, so....

I would say a pet novel, myself, with parts of other answers.

Why do people write?

...it's nice to escape into a bit of fantasy at the end of the day, to get away from responsibilities and have a bit of fun. I also write because I feel compelled to tell a tale and can't rest until I've done it. It never ceases to amaze me when I see a story where there was nothing but a blank page before.


Why do I write? Well sometimes I'm just going about life and I all of the sudden get an idea for a story... It just comes up and bites me when I least expect it! Funny thing is it's usally around school... I just have to go somewhere with the idea, or it won't leave me alone and once I've started on the idea I can't stop unless my mind stops opening doors. I write cause I can, it's relaxing and it gives me something to do... I have to be careful that my writing doesn't get me in trouble though... You know how hard it is not to go write when you really want to write but know you have to do homework? It's just painful...

I'm a daydreamer... Always have been, daydreaming is a great time to weave a story together! Needless to say that can get me into trouble as well... Especially if I day dream in class and don't notice how much time has passed.

It's good to pass time with too... I often finnish my work at school early, so I just get out my note book and write some more. Only hard thing is resisting the temptation to get out the notebook before finnishing work... biggrin.gif
