Why I Write

I was thinking about this a lot today - writing is not the most lucrative of professions, unless you are either very, very talented or very, very lucky, especially considering the amount of work that goes into the finished product. There is a lot of heartache involved in the process, and sometimes it doesn't seem like it's worth it.

But the thing about writing is, that doesn't matter .

I write because I have stories to tell. Because I couldn't stop coming up with them even if I wanted to. Because, no matter how insipid or horrific or tragic, something about that story speaks to me, and in writing a story I can deal with my own conflicts and resolutions by proxy.

I love sharing my stories with people and seeing their reactions. I love the people who read my stories because they enable me to do what, for me, is as necessary as breathing.

So even if I seem a bit cheesy at time, trust me when I say that I really am grateful, and that every thank you or status update is 100% sincere. <3

Thanks for letting me do what I love.
