Why I Write

As a little girl I loved to read and write short stories. In high school I became lazy, still got good grades, but spent my time socializing instead of writing. Okay, maybe lazy isn’t the word. Maybe being a teenager is more accurate. Thinking back, I was still a story teller – but with my voice – rather than on paper. As an adult, my priorities have changed somewhat. I try to balance family and work, but just like everyone else, I need some time for ME. No, I deserve time for me and my hobbies. Yes, unfortunately at this early stage, I consider my writing a hobby. Maybe in the future it will become a combination of work and a hobby, but right now it doesn’t pay the bills! To me, writing provides entertainment not just for the person writing but also for the person reading. There is always a beginning, middle and end………but I have the power to change them as I see fit. I write because the possibilities are endless.
