Sometimes I go through a bit of a dry patch - when Im not writing, either because of time constraints from work or other obligations, or because Im just not in the right space. When the latter happens, I usually dont use it as an excuse not to write - I just shoft gears to a different project that will fire my interest. But also, at these times, I wonder why I write. I mean, I love reading - especially anything sci fi or fantasy. I have since I was in second grade. But I like music too - so why dont I sing? I love art, so why dont I draw? I mean, I do both of those things, but not with the passion that always brings me back to writing. For me, I think its partly because Im good at it - it comes to me much more easily than any of the creative arts. And I do it because my head is full of stories. Its the way my brain works - almost every song I hear suggests a plot line that wants to be written. Stories I read beg to be turned into novels. Ideas pop into my head unbidden, and wither and die if they arent expressed. In short, I write because I NEED to write. So how about the other writers out there? Why do you write?
