Why I write:

I saw an
interesting hashtag on twitter and facebook #whyiwrite. It got me thinking
about why I do. It threw me off for a second too because I had to think about
it for sometime.

This is going to
be more in-depth about it. I love writing though and I have been doing it ever
since I was little. Journals, Diaries and notebooks are filled with entries
about my day and goals. I have tons of pens for writing my innermost thoughts
down, and a binder full of dreams I write down when I can. It is a part of my
life, and I would never change it. I thought it was insulting when someone on a
message boards told me I should choose another evocation, or when someone told
me I should stop writing…There is no way I will ever stop, and when it comes to
what I really want to do there will be no stopping me.




My first novel
ever was me writing myself in The Mummy Returns. I have to write though because
I could not stop even if I tried it. I have a story to tell, and maybe several
of them in store. No one will do it the way I do.




Sometimes writing
is the only way to keep sane. Writing can give people a voice when they are
shut down by others like I was by a bully who told me to not waste my breath it
is not worth it. Looking back she really was not worth it in the end either,
and I should not have let her affect me at all. Words have the power to change
or destroy, and instead of using it to apologize to someone willing throw words
around like daggers I should have ignored her, and saved my words to use in
something creative rather than destructive. I write to have a voice, and that
is why I write. Writing can change the world. Sometimes writing is not a
choice, and maybe that is what people don’t understand. Sometimes it is
something you have to do no matter who tries to tell you otherwise, and nothing
they can say will change anything at all. To writers writing is their destiny,
and they are meant to change the world with their writing.




Writers have a
calling to write words that speak to them. Being a writer means being a story
teller, and a higher calling considering you can change the world with it. The
hours you spend writing fly by easily sometimes, and when a character is
talking to you nothing else matters. Time flies by as you write the next scene
and the next until you hit the end.




What about you,
and the reason why you write if you are a writer?




Until next time,
