Why? How? Keep writing? 3 parts

Why?

I thought I would give you 3 parts to my writing. First is why:

I started writing at a young age, thoughts, feelings, things like that. I graduated to short stories and remember in college taking a creative writing class were the teacher was critical and always wore two different colored shoes, not because she was being funny, but that she couldn't tell the difference (one dark blue one black). Right? How critical should that person be? But something about her stuck with me.....to always shoot to be better. So when I wrote "Boy In A Band" it was out of passion, out of love I had for an amazingly talented musician, out of loss. When I finished, after numerous starts and stops, I thought now what? I hadn't intended to write another book............ So in sticking to the "why",  I write because I feel the story. I don't pick you out of a crowd....um 20-30ish, middle class, likes rock stars.....as maybe I should. No, I write because I FEEL it, and I want the reader to FEEL it too. The characters formulate in my head and if I take a break they pester me until I get back at it. So that is WHY I write.
