Why I write...

It's a question I ask myself and get asked by others. Why do I write instead of work at Peets making coffee or sell insurance?

Because I have to write. When someone once asked me what it is I would do if I could do anything I immediately and without hesitation said, "write."

So during this sluggish economy and the worries of financial woes abounding throughout the world I do what most people say "you can't make a living" at.
I am making a life if not necessarily a living yet.....yet being the operative word.

When I get an idea, inspiration, or the muse hits me squarely in the face I must write. If I don't I just keep getting pings of sentences and words bouncing around my brain.

So why do I write? Because that is who I am and what I do. And because I am in love with words!
