Why Do You Write?

{found on pinterest}

Do you write because it’s your secret platform for venting and free expression?

Do you write because it’s the one thing you’re good at?

Do you write because you can’t imagine not writing?

Or is it simply your career? Your main source of income. Your livelihood.

The reason why I ask is that remembering why we write is important. When we’re in the trenches, when writing feels like walking in slowly sinking sand, it’s easy to want to give up. But the one rescue line, the key to pulling us out of desperation and dismay is to remember why we’re writing in the first place.

So what is it writer friends?

What keeps you writing into the wee hours of the night or upon waking up sleepy-eyed in the morning? What is your motivation, your fuel for keeping on when there’s no visible reason to keep on?
