I love writing because of the following reasons:
1. It provides me a feeling of bliss and satisfaction. Whenever I make a letter to someone, proof read a report or even prepare a speech for a friend, do blogging or participate in discussions in MyLot, or simply write articles or comments in Triond, it just feels so good to be able to express yourself or share your ideas and talent to other people.
2. To write is a means to increase self-confidence. The more I write, the more I become aware of my potentials and weaknesses as a writer,thus, enables me to exert extra effort in order to excel my development in this field.
3. It is a legacy, an achievement where I could be remembered by other people for my self-expression and work as a writer.
How about you as a writer? Why do you love doing it?

I really write to express my feelings. Next, so I can remember memories that I treasure much. It is a great feeling reading all those things you've written long ago about some experiences. 
Also, I write especially when I have nothing to do. I have the tendency to self-talk and some pyschology student friend told me that it is not a good practice if it becomes habitual, so she suggested writing to be an alternative. I love writing. It helps improve my grammar and vocabulary very much. It eases my depression, pressure, tension and severe emotions. Writing is such a remedy to me. It is fun to do although tiresome sometimes.

That's a hard one.
Writing comes to me natural, and I just let nature take its course really.
I love being able to write words on a piece of paper or online. I feel acomplished when I do it. Especially if it is something that lots of people are interested in and come back to every once in a while.
It's just so hard to think of the reasons why I love writing, I've been technically reading and writing since I was four and I haven't stopped I still have my journal book from the 4th grade with some short stories I had in it. I have to admit my handwriting was and is horrible but still readable.
I just love it. It completes me.

Foremost I thank the LORD for giving me the talent of writing. We have to accept the fact that not all persons are gifted with the knowledge of writing. For me I used my writing ability to express my thoughts and ideas on the things i choose to write, it helps me to bring out the best in me. It is a tool for me to communicate with the people around me and the world as a whole. It is a means to gain more friends for with it my circle of friends became bigger. I love writing for it gives me a sense of fulfillment.

I love to make up stories, and put them down and it is much easier on everyone else rather then me taking a sword and jumping on tables, fighting bad guys and acting dangerous scenes, making poisons, etc. And it is fun trying to get the right word for that particular actions or to convey the correct message.

I write because it is a lifelong habit. It would not feel right if a day went by when I didn't write anything.
I have been writing all my life for myself, and only in the past few years have I started writing for other people. It began when I became a part time mature student a few years ago, and I had to write assignments for my tutors.
Now I write articles, and I have great pleasure in knowing they appear and are being read on the internet.
I love writing because I learn so much by doing research, and then I can explain, or inform other people, what I have found out.
Most of all, I write because it is the best way I have of expressing my thoughts and opinions.

I lose myself in whatever I'm writing. When I look at the time, I'm always surprised at quickly time goes by. I write mystery stories and it is an intellectual challenge every time I write. I have to get into the skin of my characters, think the way that they think and I get to do things that I would never do in my life. It's a way to kill people that annoy me without going to jail for it. LOL
