Why Do You Write?

I do it for several reasons: To keep my brain active To keep me out of trouble To get me through winter To make people laugh

Its a good pass time for me, I enjoy reading about other people's lives and getting their perspective on various topics.

Wow it depends what you mean by write. My travel writing I do to share my experiences, on here I write to interact and have conversations, just for fun.

Nice turn of phrase!! I like it!! I suppose I write mainly to entertain myself and hopefully others. I figure that if I find something funny then someone else surely will too. If I can put a smile on someone's face, even if it's just my own, then it's been worth the time and effort.

I write because I have to. I can't imagine not writing something.

outlet--need something where i can put my thoughts :)

I write because I love writing!

To communicate. I like how words can find their way on the page. Like how came up with that second sentence. I like that.

I write because I find it relaxing.

That's a great way of putting it. That doesn't really apply to me - I just do a bit of scribbling for fun.

I have hundreds and hundreds of ideas for stories banging around the inside of my head all demanding to be written. I write to thin the herd. Unfortunately, it feels as if for every story I write, ideas for two more take it's place. Not that I'm complaining. Too much.

Some are good at talking their way through various situations, some are good in molding someone's opinion for their personal benefit and there are some who only express themselves through words. Writing is a beautiful form of expression which involves constant contemplation and tiresome editing . :P

I write because i can't figure out what's going out in my head until i write it and read it. I write to feel my significance.

I write to test my skills... to keep busy... to practice english... to share what I know...

It helps pass the time for me and I enjoy it.

I write because I enjoy writing. I can't imagine not writing. It's something I've always enjoyed doing, even growing up. I can't really help it.

My motives are similar to yours. In my native language, I write short stories.

I actually write quite a bit of poetry--and I do some legal writing--I really enjoy writing!

Because I love it!

For me I write coz its good money and you get a chance to research on topics that add value in your life I guess most people have similar reasons on why they write.
