Why I Write

I've always loved art whether it's music or drawing or painting or reading. I've always loved the aspect of creating and learning about other worlds. Though I may not be the best singer or the best visual artist I show my creativity through my written words. I show my passion for stories and love of people when the words are written before me. When I write, I write from my soul, my very being and hope they like who I am and what I write. If they choose not to than I guess my works are not for them. Here is why I write:

I write because I know I will never experience the things written in the stories I tell, so I live through the lives of my characters. To experience the creation of a different world or the same world depending on how you choose to write it. I know my characters, I give them a face and a personality, I give them life. I write because I want to connect with the readers so they can be swept away by the story such as I myself had been. I write because I want them to cry, laugh, and love the world of books and stories authors try so hard to create. I write because it makes me happy and gives me a purpose to change the world, at least a little bit of it. I write because I want an undying love such as in stories or I want my life to be full of adventures. I write so others know me and how I feel though they may not be able to decipher it throughout the stories. I write both books and poems to reach out to people and make them love words and the meaning behind them. I write to tell of sacrifice, love, fear, hate, joy, sadness, and so much more that you can experience through a short poem or an entire book. I write to share who I am with the rest of the world. I write to change lives and change my own life as well. To one day be able to feed a family of my own with just my words written and sold to others. I want my kids to love reading and to be proud that I had succeeded in my dream to write. I write to not feel alone but to make friends with my characters and to fall in love with them. I write because It's easier to express myself through written word and through other people than to say them out loud where the world can mishear or change the words spoken. I write because sometimes reality is too hard to live in, so I live in my own world for a while as I continue to change and shape it into what I want it to be. I write to show my own love of books and stories. I write to escape but yet to thrive. To strengthen my mind and heart through the words I put on the paper. I write to learn more about myself and my own capabilities. I write because I want my words to live forever whether in a book or in people's minds. I want them to remember the words and names of the stories. I write for myself. I write for my family. I write for my friends. I write to show them what I can do and I try my best to do my best. I write to show everyone anything is possible if you believe in yourself and if you try as hard as you possibly can to succeed. I write to fail but to try again, maybe even harder. I write with the want to succeed in life. I write to prove I'm not dumb or stupid or boring. I write to show the world I am smart and kind and compassionate. I write to hide from myself and others. I write to encourage others. I write to be myself. I write because I love it.

I began to write because I was always in awe of the books I would read so I wanted to be able to create stories of my own and to make others feel how I felt. I started writing just for fun but as I continued I fell in love with the aspect of my own world and people and plot and details. I fell for the agonizingly long process of writing books people will maybe one day love. I may not always write the best stories with the greatest plot or detailed paragraphs but I always love my stories even if other may never end up reading them. I have hope that one day I'll be published and my book will sell, spreading my words as far as they can possibly go. I startered for fun but write for love. I write to feel something from my words. To stir emotions that only words can move. I write to hope for a better life. I write in fear of others never knowing who I am or the ideas my mind makes as the wheels continue to turn. That they may never learn of my story or opinions. I write to show the world what I can do. When I started to write I never knew it would become an infatuation. A want to continue and write more. My mind has so many ideas that I never seem to be able to finish a story so I hope one day I'll be able to go back and continue what I had left behind. The world is changing as well as the people and what they want to do or read but no matter whether it's on your phone or in your hand, a book is still a book. A world where you wish to be but can never be.
